Another sunny day and digging around

 Morning arrived clear and breezy will be a bit warmer today but gardening is done for the day.

Just a lesson in 'no matter how dry it looks on top, dig down to see how wet the soil is.

The soil was still perfectly moist and ready for fertilizing in all the beds. I was going to put the smaller two potatoes back in the same place but then digging around I discovered I missed a spud! I put the smaller ones over in the south bed and put the single one back in the potato bed. In theory I could have planted all three but the soft area of soil isn't big enough to support them all. I should have potato sprouts coming up in the next four weeks or hopefully less.

I would have saved that one out as a 'baby gold' but I had cut it a little with the trowel so back in the ground it went. After a liberal scattering of the fertilizer that was left.

I got to digging around and loosening soil before watering and replanting potatoes. I think I planted the ones in the south bed a bit too far into the shade and might just not plant them at all given how small they are. Might move one more out in the sun but it's such a big plant eventually... whatever.

The peas are doing good, tucked it up some more and hope the added fertilizer will do good. I can plant potatoes all the way to the end of this month so if the peas end in the next two weeks I'll put the potatoes over there with full sun. Really need to get some chives and onions started to go with my potatoes. I don't have enough room for a large russet bush unfortunately, maybe next year.

Lyla's tomato is looking pretty darn good compared to my old bush but there's a big age difference for sure. Will be glad to get that one out of there and something new in so it isn't so sad and looking like it's spreading the plague. One of the tomatoes is already splitting which is another reason I need a good mulch on top so the soil doesn't dry out..

 

 The tall pea in the south bed is finally blooming at the very top, the tendrils are going everywhere and no support to have them grab onto. I can plant those again in the fall and hope to have adequate support for them.

I could plat more flowers but flowers in my mind, other than bringing pollinators, are meant to be seen, unless that turns into an actual garden, marigolds are going to be it and will think about what else to do when the time comes.

Oh and I found a nice little flat black rock. It's the little things right?
