Looks like March but especially April are going to be quite wet by our standards. There's a dry spell around early April, but thereafter it's going to rain a fair bit (70 mm/litres per square metre forecast for March and 100 mm/litres per square metre forecast for April by Accuweather, whose predictions tend to underestimate a bit for where I am). No frosts forecast after 6 April. In fact the temperatures look like they're going to be surprisingly mild. We have clay soil in a valley floor that doesn't drain very well, plus not only do we get our own rainfall but also rain running down a tributary valley, making our ground prone to flooding.
Would I do well to plant the spuds early April, or wait till early May? What would you do?
