We finally had a sunny dry day today with the temperature around 60. I double-dug one of the beds and transplanted the cabbage seedlings. In an attempt to reduce the insect damage to the seedlings, I've covered them with Agribon insect barrier, which is a very light fabric that allows sunlight in but keeps insects out.
I also transplanted the lettuce and planted both the new potatoes and storage potatoes. This is the second year we've planted Sangre new potatoes and the fifth year for the Kennebec storage potatoes. We still have several Kennebecs in the root cellar from last fall, which keep very well over the winter.
It looks like we may have some sunny dry weather next week, so hopefully we can get a lot more planting done.
