Yesterday was dry enough for me to go pick up the potato pieces that got washed away from our flash flood Friday. Replanted them and will see how they do. Such abnormal weather we all are having. I am in a pretty good location.Things could be a whole lot worse, though, these farmers that are being hit by tornadoes, and bad flooding from the Mississippi River, just can’t imagine how they are doing.I hope everyone that is having horrible weather problems is doing ok.SueVermontIn this area at least, in my experience, potatoes planted as late as June will do just fine, as long as late blight doesn't show up early.And my potatoes are not in the ground yet. In fact, this is the year that I find out how shallots do if they're not planted till May 24th; and onions transplanted out mostly on May 13. Inbetween those dates the rain came back; both onions and shallots here normally go in the ground in the middle of April; but this year the workable soil window in April was two hours -- and that was pushing it. But as you say: my mantra for this spring has become "At least we're not underneath the Mississippi . . . "-- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 5 mostlyFresh-market organic produce, small scale
