The message
from "Alan Holmes" contains these words:


My seed potatoes are beginning to sprout, but the garden is
nowhere
ready to plant them!

It will take me at least another couple of months to work up
the
energy to get up out of my chair and go into the garden, the
chances of digging the garden are just as remote!

What can I do?

Order a few tons of topsoil, lay the potatoes on the garden
surface,
cover them with topsoil.

Don't be flippant! ;-)

The last time I planted potatoes, I laid them on the surface and
covered
them with the contents of my compost heap. I was well satisfied
with the
results.

Without getting out of your armchair ? What long arms you have
:-)

Here's a better idea; push a peanut into the ground where-ever
you
want a potato plant, and place some bowls of catfood around the
garden.

Squirrel digs hole and removes nut. Alan opens window and tosses a
potato into each hole. Cats add manure and fill in the holes.

That's much better.
