POTATOES PLANTED PRIOR TO DOWNPOUR

4 OF OUR 20 RAISED BEDS ARE NOW FILLED WITH THE PROMISE OF POTATOES.
Wheelbarrow loads of topsoil, planting mix and "gin trash" were shoveled, hauled and dumped into the raised beds, then the Black Kow was added and all were tilled in to prepare a rich and happy home for the seeds who will call the Helping Hands Garden home. Harold showed us how to plant seed potatoes and we managed to plant for beds potatoes and get them tucked in snugly with a blanket of pinestraw...the pinestraw blanket was added while the rain began as a misty shower and escalated to a downpour. These students were undaunted by the rain...I on other hand was happy to call it a day once the last bit of pinestraw was in place. With my muddy boots and rainsoaked hair, I headed to the truck and waved goodbye.
