Also this weekend, I got some help from my visiting friend Wayne. We both got most of the beds weeded, which was good timing because the grass is starting to come up in some places, along with lots and lots of hyacinth bulbs. (Anybody want a bunch of hyacinth bulbs?)
And then this morning, we had some more good weather, so I planted the mustards, raab, spinach, lettuces (all four varieties I'm growing this year) and early carrots. Afterwards, Patrick G came over and we got another load of wood chips, and then spread them on the remaining paths and in between the rows. Looks good, huh?
Of course it's raining now, hard. But I'm not planting again for another 10 days, or until the potatoes arrive.

Where are you getting your seed potatoes? I ordered mine from Territorial, but so far I've only received the Caribe.
I bought my potatoes from the same place that Territorial buys them from. Some place in Texas: http://www.dixondalefarms.com/
I did however buy my sweet potatoes from Territorial and they have not arrived yet :(
In general, there are very few places that grow seed potatoes, so most major seed catalogs just resell from the same few places. For this reason, they're at the mercy of their supplier unlike for some of their other products.
My sweet potatoes (from Territorial) didn't arrive until late May last year. Just in case you start to wonder why it's taking so long... They turned out great though.
