campus potatoes

the campus is a quiet place at six thirty on a saturday morning...just some robins, a few folks form the neighborhood out for a morning stroll, and me...i cut the two pounds of organic seed potatoes i had received last week on this past thursday and they are ready to plant...so i took ten pieces ( the rest are earmarked for my daughter's back yard and the next two pounds go in my yard ) and a packet of the wild potato seeds i just received from peru via the usda and went planting...i dug out spaces in between the wheat ( so i will be growing and harvesting it all this year to perpetuate the "green manure" system of organic matter replacement ) and tossd in a handful or two of compost, put in the chunk of potato ( eye side up ) covered them and marked the spot with a plant label until they come up...i also planted a row of wild potato seeds alongside the zea diploperennis ( which has tolerated the cold pretty well ) and gave them all a thorough watering...i also put in the first upright for the trellis for the yams as they will be climbing soon...it's been a busy weekend so far and it isn't over yet...my daughter's back yard is next and my supplier tells me my seed potaoes are on the way from oregon...no rest for the wicked...doubly so for a wicked gardener...there is movement in the garden as shown by the portrait in the top photo...the pgp as it looked a bit after seven this morning.
