Planting secret spuds!

Well the first veggies went in today! everyone here in Belcaire says its too early to plant potatoes so I got up early today (Sunday) and dug a neat trench about 6 inches deep and planted 15 Amandine potatoes.

We are still getting overnight temperatures of below freezing so to protect from frost I covered them with straw and black plastic. I'll go back a week later and make slits in the plastic to let them grow through. If anyone asks what they are I will say "it's a secret!"
