Good Friday Potatoes

It is tradition to plant potatoes on Good Friday.  So we did.  In the rain. It was only a little sprinkle during the planting, but it really came down later.  This whole week it rained like crazy here, but we're still under the average for the year in rainfall.  We also planted onions and garlic, and started seeds indoors for just about everything else.  

This collage that Joncee made is of the rocks that are left to move.  Were going to leave most of these so we can get some stuff started.  Then we'll get back to moving rocks after some green stuff shows up.  We would probably be fine with the space we have cleared but its more fun being in way over our heads.  

Where the potatoes, onions and garlic went in I did what is called double digging.  I dug a trench the depth of my shovel, put that dirt in the cart and loosed with dirt under where I dug with a garden fork and moved the trench over.  It was lot of work but I think Edward C. Smith is right, and the vegetables will be vigorous.


 

We have bees in the neighborhood its pretty exciting.
