our maine home – zone 5b
Every year I order seed potatoes from Wood Prairie Farm. I could probably get them cheaper, but these are very high quality seed potatoes and I like to support this very pro-organic family-owned company, located way out in Bridgewater, Maine.
This year’s order:
Experimenter’s Special
One pound of Russian Banana Fingerlings
To arrive the beginning of May.
Snow is falling thickly and drifting off the trees periodically in great puffs of white powder.
I’m not thinking about plants or gardening.
I’ve been doing a lot of stitching, some drawing and painting, making some books, reading some books.
Walking in the winter weather. Taking care of the chickens.
It’s been a quiet, peaceful time.
When we return from South Africa in early April, it will be time to plant in earnest.
