slow soalnum in three parts (II)

only a couple of the yeme da huevos i planted on december twenty-eighth are up and running...the one in the top photo has greened up nicely...if the balance fail to crop up i have space for the rest...we'll see...tubers are tricky...four early blue are up and there look to be more as movement continues in those containers...once again the aim is april planting outdoors and a third generation of "government" potatoes that can be eaten as well as saved for seed...i am curious to sample a blue potato...things are progressing but only slowly...gardening teaches patience and coping with failures and disappointments as well...none of these hoped for results are written in stone...the plant room is at a steady temperature (64 degrees fahrenheit ) and at about fifty-seven percent humidity...i still worry about fungi...they attacked some of the first generation of yema de huevos and probably are still lurking...the watering schedule is the key...i went from once a week to every ten days...the plants put on on december twenty-eighth have been watered once...the moisture in the compost and potting soil is whats watering the early blues so far...that is showing signs of drying but not enough to warrant more water...did i say patience? add restraint to hat list too.
