Today was annoying because it kept raining. Not all the time, just whenever I went outside.
Managed to do some weeding and pick some radishes, that's it.
The potatoes are big now and don't need much weeding anymore, just hacking away some thistles. A bunch of grass came back so it looks messy but it doesn't bother the potatoes. No problems with stickweed this year as we did not mulch around them. Works better in this wet climate.
They're starting to flower and it turns out the row spacing that seemed far too wide when planting was actually right - they're filling the space with leaves. Turns out reading scientific research on potatoes can be worthwhile.
Here's some peonies for you that grew next to that weird wooden cross standing in the garden.
