 I stuck in more potato "eyes" several weeks ago to make a display pot for the brick patio.

Nice to have a continual expectation of production from your plants.

It was a nice day here, reaching sunny high of 70F, clear, very light breeze from the SE. I shortened my lawn with the tractor mower in the morning, absorbed some solar radiation for an hour, then in the afternoon, took the dog for a walk and helped a friend move some stuff from one house to another in the village.

IDK if I will get much of a crop with so many plants crowded in there. I will hit them up with nitrogen fertilizer in a few days... we are to have rain all week.

If nothing else I will have a pretty pot full of greenery for display.

I managed to stay busy with a few pressing matters handled in the morning and the rest of the day a steady pace of little accomplishments that nobody will notice.

I have not been able to handle much salad since this illness set in.......... I don't want to wear "Depends" just quit yet and my snail's pace to the bathroom can't be helped.

If they have died you better dig them before they rot or potato beetle gets them. There is also a potato blight
