However...
Afternoon planting the onions and potatoes

I've boxed. Done my yoga practice.
Chitted my spuds, planted my strawberries and horseradish, and prepped my raised bed.
Sadly, I didn't come across him at the bottom of the garden.
Tired now!

Trays of sweet peas ready for potting on & pinching out. This is the first year I have chitted them on wet kitchen paper in a sealed tupperware lunchbox & they are so much better than my usual effort with much better germination. Very pleased. 🌱

Chitted. Check. But what now? Outside soil isn’t warm enough. Would the polytunnel do?

When to plant those 2nd early potatoes? Aim for 2-4 weeks after the first earlies, when there is no frost risk & soil’s warmed up. 🌱🥔 Ready by early-mid summer after about 16-17 weeks. Check local weather planting dates on VegPlotter for best results! #GardeningTips #Potatoes

Greenhouse getting full. Chitted 🥔 will get planted Wed. Crazy low temps tonight & tomorrow night dip to teens. Covered as much as I could. Moving blankets, quilt batt, folded grow bags, & buckets will have to do. Worried most about blackberries.
80° by week's end. Drunk Mother Nature!

Planted my chitted potatoes into 4 bags I can move later in the year when I need to, plus the extra leftover 5 got stealth-planted randomly in the ground harum scarum about the place. I'm not wasting seed potatoes.

Right. I'm taking my bad knee and my duff hand out to the plot today, must get those tatties planted - they've been chitted and eager for weeks - and crack on with clearing beds and sowing stuff before this dry spell ends.

In episode *pfft of how gardening can save you money… it may have! I bought māori potatoes last year (to eat), saved a few in the fridge, chitted them, abandoned them for an age until looked dead and finally guilt planted the shrivelled nubs.
They are lush, huge and now probably making babies 🤷♀️

Really eager to get out to the plot. I want to prep the potato bed while it's dry and easy to clear, and get the tatties in the ground before the rain at the w/e (it's early, but they're seriously over-chitted and need to go in). But I'm stuck at home this morning, so frustrating. 🌱🧑🌾🥔

The #fawn, the rabbit, and the groundhog debated lunch.
The fawn bleated, "Do be a deer and fetch me some clover."
The rabbit thumped, "I'm not your floppy-eared forest flunkey."
The groundhog chitted, "Do I look like a gopher? Last time, I did it for five bucks—but they never paid me."

Darkness #cloaked her, hanging heavily on shrouded shoulders.
Not that you could see it easily. Brightness shone from her in a sunny facade.
She seemed happy, engaging as she chitted and chatted around the room with ease.

That moment when you're line editing and you realize your magical green birds are sprouting potatoes instead of chatting with each other because you wrote "chitted" instead of "chittered."

You should grow your own. A few months back I paid $20 for a few bags of seed spuds, chitted them, stuck them in pots with some dirt & have just harvested HEAPS. This is 1/2 from a few weeks ago.

Now that la canicule (heat wave) seems to be behind us, and there is some rain around, I'm planting up some potatoes.
