============================================
We got a sack of potatoes and this weekend would
be the early planting dates for our region in
Central Texas.
Steve Diver
As you say that it is time to plant, there is not much point in delaying;
in doing hundreds of acres Cut-n-Plant is the usual method in this area.
For small early plantings there is some value to placing seed on greenhouse benches for a couple weeks to get it going. I can have "new potatoes" for July 4, by doing that; an activity that has more to do with culinary pleasure and bragging rights than profit!
Occasionally a truckload or 2 of cut seed gets delayed in planting by several days of weather and the task of spreading on the floor and ventilating to prevent heating is a true PITA...BTDT!
