I got my potatoes in in early May, which was late for me in Iowa. We are zone 5 here, just on the edge of zone 5, almost zone 4. But you should be able to plant your potatoes now no problem...they will be great for storage since they will be ready so late. The first year I will probably have some back up seeds for the broccoli...more than half of my tomatoes are from my seeds this year though. <br /><br />Erynia- Yay for baby pods! That is very exciting. I learned last year not to leave them all on too long. If it gets hot and the peas sit on the vine too long, I think it makes some of them taste bitter. So I am picking them as soon as they are ready this year...even if that means I have to keep adding to a stash in the fridge or freezer.GardenMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10583373530917618835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513390826711887432.post-32334588146584564242011-06-15T09:52:59.462-05:002011-06-15T09:52:59.462-05:00I planted Amish snap peas this year, and they'...I planted Amish snap peas this year, and they're not quite ready... (as you know, I'm more than a little behind on the planting cycle. I'll get it right one of these years!) But I just checked last night, and I have several little tiny pea pods emerging from the blooms! This is the first time I've grown peas, so I was very excited to see the baby pods. I'll be even more excited to EAT them!Erin@BeaverdaleHomesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10641168453783934227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513390826711887432.post-41964096182411138462011-06-15T00:29:49.436-05:002011-06-15T00:29:49.436-05:00Our weather is just as crazy as yours is ... we we...Our weather is just as crazy as yours is ... we were wearing sleeveless & sweating a week ago & wearing sweaters today ... Your right - it is making for an interesting crop season ... I've put in 80 tomato plants and they had a growth spurt but have seized up and the peas are making a dash for - and as for me - I've been a little ahead of myself on some things and behind on others ... I'm going to put my sprouting potatoes into soil tomorrow & hope for the best up as I really behind everyone else on potato planting here in Toronto ... I'm learning to finally relax with gardening - it only looked like I was relaxed with it before - lol - I think you are taking it to the next level by collecting you'd own seeds (are you planting back up store bought seeds as back up)?.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16052244250681724662noreply@blogger.com
