SO MANY POTATOES, Soccer, Harvests, Cover - Wednesday
Something crawled in and ate the chicks in the brooder hut and we found them yesterday morning in pieces. What else is new. Whatever it is comes up from the creek. Going to set traps tonight.
A few nicer squash were ready and went to the cooler.
Then I washed the potatoes that I had dug the prior afternoon and got them drying on the deck.
So I went back to the pole garden and pulled the plants then the plastic aside on the remaining parts of the rows.
The first row filled the two baskets for 31 pounds which went to the deck and got washed and laid out to dry.
The last of the pole garden rows gave me a couple heavier baskets for 38 pounds. To the deck, washed, and laid out to dry as well after sorting the prior.
The olympics is on the US got trounced by France, which was kind of a foregone conclusion, the US sucks balls at soccer.
Early afternoon I went to the potato garden and dug the top row. It didn't give near what I had hoped with only 18 pounds. It was only about 30 spots but it made me curious about the water.
The pile of potatoes is growing steadily.
The sheep had eaten the hay bale down enough that the stake I had used for the tarp had fallen over so I grabbed a pipe and some more twine to stake the tarp out better so they have the ability to get under it.
I then went to the irrigation controllers and found that my pole and potato gardens had the controller wonked at some point and were on only 15 minutes which is not nearly enough water. I turned them back up to the hour but it is too late for both gardens to do much of anything now.
I found a nice 1.5 pound head of cauliflower that I cut and took in the house.
A little time at the board.
We were out to soak normal time.
Today I have more spuds to dig, IFS, harvests, I have to set traps for whatever toasted the turkey last night because the assholes won't go in the coop at night, then come up with dinner this evening.
