more spuds
i said a couple of days ago that successes usually outweigh failures in the garden and there is more evidence of that tonight at the community garden...the red nordlands in the top photo are still running strong...but there's more...all six of the yukon golds i planted in the sweet corn bed ( second and third photos ) are up as well so there are twenty-one potato plants in all which could make for a good harvest in july and august...my back yard has forty-five potatoes up so spuds will be ( i hope ) plentiful when the season culminates...last year's harvest was a disappointment and i would like to be able to share some organic goodies this summer...more strawberry plants are blooming and the larger picture of the garden looks good thirty-three days in from the official planting.
an ex- industrial worker ( the continued automation of jobs, condensing of ownership, plant closings, trade wars, and degradation of living standards here has rendered me a former industrial worker...now just part-time lumpen proletariat) and university student (everyone needs a hobby...my hobbies have evolved and, to keep things straight, i have left my formal student career behind for reasons that are too detailed to delve into here...continuing to be a student of life however and not adverse to learning...stasis is death ) sliding down the back side of middle age...a social loner with collectivist leanings...explain that.
