Hunt County Master Gardener Byron Chitwood says it's time to prepare for late winter and early spring gardening. Byron says "new," or red, potatoes can be planted starting around mid-February, and now is a good time to begin preparing the gardening plots. A copy of Byron's tips is available on the Blacklands Cafe Facebook page.
