Potatoes in the Ground

Beltane                               Waxing Planting Moon

Potatoes take some energy to plant.  First you have to dig foot-deep trenches, then you plant the seed potatoes.  After that, you fill the trench back in about 8 inches or so.  Even in my plot’s highly organic soil this involves lifting a lot of mother earth.  Having said that, I love finding potatoes in the soil, like little treasures.  And they taste really good straight out of the ground.  Really good.  (these are not our potatoes.  what a lot of work there.  Whew)

Vega snuck in the garden when my hands were full.  She put the hammer down and raced in a full suspension gallop all around the garden, then came up to me, rolled over and stuck her legs in the air.  Daddy, daddy, I know it was wrong, but I just couldn’t help myself.

Now a nap, then a workout then out to the Temple.
