Garden update: May 27, 2010...

Planted 8 hills worth of squash this morning, and had to throw some more hay on several of my potato tires. Once they start, they go hard... I may well get to add a second tire to some of them by weekend's end.

It's also worth mentioning that my sweet potato slips, which were all but written off as frosted to death, and which spent a good deal of time impersonating dried-out sticks stuck in the ground, are beginning to throw out leaves with new vigor. Never underestimate a close relative of morning glory's!

The mosquitoes out in the field are still bad even in the mornings. I'm investing in a crate of Off!.
