Vegetable Garden

This is the first time in many years, that we have actually planted a full-sized vegetable garden! From scratch, we plowed part of a fallow field, and began the exciting, and exasperating, task of planting seeds and seedlings. Much of the time has been occupied with the great battle of the weeds. It seems the weeds grow 4 to 5 inches a day, while the vegetables seem frozen in time! Yesterday, we finished planting the last open spots, with three varieties of potatoes; a blue-flesh, pink-flesh, and white-flesh variety.
