Another couple of weeks here in southern Missouri. After April 15 for tomatoes and such potatoes should already be in the ground.

Yeah that's what I was kind of thinking on I'm hoping I can get my tiller running before it gets too late to plant potatoes just been way too busy on the dairy to try to get the garden in yet

My potatoes were late coming up, planted 20feb, just started coming up last week. 35days before the first one came up. I was sure they had rotted, was about to plow them up and plant again.

My FIL always waited until May 1st to plant especially tomatoes. He was usually pretty successful. Sometimes it was hard to be patient, but enough late April surprises helped him stay patient.

Hashbrown has forgotten more about this than I will ever know. He would be the best to consult. This may help.
