I'm not sure if it matters a lot, but it doesn't hurt. <br /><br />I'm really hoping to be planting something in a week or two, but I too still have snow. It is melting though. Once it is melted I wonder if the soil will thaw quickly or slowly. It was a really cold winter, but then again there was a deep snow blanket on it.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544358755192295336.post-82995522321705174762015-03-30T21:00:00.598-07:002015-03-30T21:00:00.598-07:00I didn't know you can pull off some of the spr...I didn't know you can pull off some of the sprouts and still keep the the seed potato going.Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08837486464329151966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544358755192295336.post-55909858404712468522015-03-30T16:55:33.665-07:002015-03-30T16:55:33.665-07:00It seems to me from what I've read that it is ...It seems to me from what I've read that it is not necessary.

I won't be getting my seed potatoes until mid-April so I'm not sure if I'll have time to get any sprouts going.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.com
