What's the temperature where you are???

[Nym]

55° with a 36° dew point while feeling like 53° and 49% humidity.

Sunny with a high of 61° and NNE winds at 5 to 10mph. There have been a few sightings of the mom cat at my work but no luck in catching her.

The only way to catch her would be to put the kittens in a trap-cage. My father borrowed one from a vet after discovering a cat had a litter of kitties under his house.

It looks like this spring will be late. Usually specifically here (where I live) from May 1 to 10 they plant potatoes, sometimes, if the spring is cold, they plant it a little later, but starting around the 9th. However, the temperature now is -10 C at night, about +5 C during the day. It is definitely too early to plant potatoes in such weather, if it is not warmer than +5 C at night, it is too cold for planting (and the ground is cold).
In general, I have not planted potatoes yet. I am sitting at home, watching the festive military parade on Red Square on TV.
If it continues like this, I'll be planting potatoes almost in June. Well, at least the wild grass, despite the night frosts, still manages to grow and the geese are happy.

I won't complain about the chilly Spring here this year any further! Sure hope it warms up for you. Farmers are planting Potatoes now in the higher fields that have dried out. Planting here has been very slow, I see them putting in Corn now, Soy Bean will be last.

My fruit trees are starting to blossom, too late now to finish up an pruning. I'll do more pruning in the late summer.

The low this morning was 1C (33F).

Well, I live in a relatively cold region, and my house is located on the northern side of a large hill, but usually spring at this time looks a little more convincing and warmer than now.
Today the temperature is above zero, but somewhere around +4 C, although there is no reason to complain about the lack of precipitation - today it has been raining for half a day.
I do not plant potatoes like a farmer, my scale is much more modest, usually just a few long beds. As soon as the potatoes bloom and green berries appear on the bushes (berries are not for food, it are poisonous), I slowly begin to dig the potatoes up, wash them and boil them with the skin in a large saucepan, taking some for myself for lunch, and giving the rest, cut or mashed, to the ducks. I don’t know why, but my ducks really like boiled potatoes. Since there is no need to use pesticides here (large potato fields that can be affected by the Colorado potato beetle are located far away, and for some reason this beetle is not here at all, or it appears in a single specimen and for some reason it does not like it here, it does not reproduce, maybe the soil is too heavy and clayey, maybe there is too much manure, or maybe it is cold for it), in general, all the work on potatoes comes down to digging the soil, planting and covering a little later with some old rotten hay, soiled with old manure. Adding wood ash, old eggshells after incubation, sometimes some sand (to dilute the heavy clay soil, slightly acidic).

But I don't risk giving the ducks store-bought potatoes - they may contain pesticide residues, which is very dangerous for ducks. And you also need to watch carefully so that there are no very green tubers that have been lying in the sun, they contain the poison solanine.

In general, I just dig up good potatoes, boil them and feed them to the ducks. Although other poultry farmers here claim that you can't get too carried away with this, ducks can get fat if they eat too many boiled potatoes.
