What a shit show. I hauled the boxes of potatoes up from the basement and holy hell are they insane. I had potatoes growing in the boxes... there are little tiny new potatoes in the red Nordlands. Probably the most voraciously growing potato I have seen, it NEEDS to be growing. I sorted them for the better ones and tossed them in the garden cart. I have so many I will have to give a bunch away to people who are willing to take them.

Poor Barney got spanked hard in the Austrian open.

So, I was rather surprised and pleased to find that we have still good potatoes in the bottom boxes. Ones that are still firm and have few tendrils of growth. Probably about 80 pounds in all.

Swapped to black PET and printed out the finger fishing reel which actually is pretty slick once put together

I went to walk to check the mail and as I headed down the hill to the bridge over the creek I noticed our daffodils are growing but not yet flowering. But that means that the ones by the highway ARE flowering, they are always a bit ahead.

So I plucked a handful and took them in the house for @stryeyz.

Stupid raspberries. I went through and hacked and slashed the old canes out and tried to push them all back from the greenhouse a bit better.

Lol, printed a tooth pick "cannon" more crossbow. It should be pretty funny when put together.

I finally got out to the garden and began the process of stuffing spuds in the ground.

I got 4 rows or about 170 planted before my back was done with it for the day.

It's a bit obnoxious just how insane the growth of the potatoes is. I could just plant tendrils and have a massive harvest. I've got to make some choices about where else I will be planting them...

I got the fire going in the pit for grilling.

@stryeyz got home and after a bit I got the trailer hooked up and ready for the grain run I did this morning.

The cherry trees are starting to bloom.

Grilled our burgers after having to add a bit more wood to the fire.

Soaking a bit later and shorter for my early up this morning.

I have been to town for grain already and have the trailer emptied. In a couple hours I will head up and get my bees then will get them installed in their hive. PDC is on, I need to buzz my hair off, plant more potatoes and seeds, work on irrigation, till, and likely grill this evening.
