Planting Before the Rain

The “trench” on our left was planted to green beans.  Onions have been placed along the fence.  Sylvia is planting potatoes.  Perhaps we can go another year plus without bringing home potatoes from the store.  The ones we grow are much better!

Just cut them up so that each piece has at least one eye

Each piece is dropped in a hole and covered.  Then you wait . . .

Still going . . .

Butternut squash behind her and jalapeños at her feet, Sylvia keeps going.

She’ll sleep well come night.
