flowers and vegetables by decreasing water, fertilizer and growing temperatures. Transplant on a shady day in late afternoon or in early evening to reduce transplant shock. Water with a half strength fertilizer solution. For a few days after transplanting, protect the plants from wind and sun by placing a piece of newspaper or cardboard on their south sides or by covering with jugs, baskets, or flower pots. Water the plants once or twice during the next week.
• When the spring is very wet and the soil is too muddy to work, try planting your seed potatoes on top of the ground. Lay the cut seed flat on top of the wet earth with the eye up, spaced in rows 24 inches apart and 12 inches apart in the row. Then cover them with six inches of oak leaves and water the leaves heavily enough to pack them so they won’t blow off. This method saves digging a planting furrow, hilling and digging up the potatoes. Just pull back the leaves and there they are, nice and clean and not sunburned.
