Planting Before the Rain

Yesterday, I left a hint that Sylvia was at work in the garden.  What had she started?

Popping in the potatoes

Popping in the potatoes

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 . . .

Still going . . .

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

She’ll sleep well come night.

  1. I love Sylvia out there in her boots….and her cast! She is a hard-working lady. How wonderful that you have all that land to garden. And the help too!

    • Several folks have commented on those boots. They’ve been just the thing for her this spring. They are comfortable for her and the soles don’t pick up a lot of soil. (She says she’d rather keep in the garden, thank you very much.) :rofl:
