Timing is essential for a bountiful potato harvest. Ideally, plant seed potatoes in early spring, when the soil temperature reaches about 45°F. This encourages robust growth, while late summer is perfect for harvesting as tubers reach their peak size and flavor.

Replanting hostas can rejuvenate your garden, but timing is key. Early spring, before new growth emerges, or early fall, when temperatures cool, are ideal. These moments allow roots to settle while the soil is still warm, ensuring a lush, thriving display.
