Wow, that a lot of potatoes. My husband worked all weekend on the gardens. Looks so good. He got a few things planted. We have to buy our seed potatoes yet. I have to get our asparagus cut today. I'm not sure how our garlic is doing. I hope my husband can get a lot of planting done before Thursday, as rain (thunderstorms) are forecasted for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Unfortunately I'm not able to do much gardening. I take care of my flower pots and I grow tomatoes and herbs in pots. Yes, I love May too!

Hooray hooray, the 24th of May.
Its the queens birth day.
If you don't give us a holiday,
We'll all run away.

Old rhyme from childhood, telling the teacher we wanted the day off. And today is the 24th.
