Potatoes, comfrey and yarrow
It’s been a busy week for all I’m sure. I hilled my potatoes (one row in photo), harvested some comfrey and yarrow which are now in the dehydrator. I also filled a raised bed so my Momma can plant tomatoes without bending over-her heart won’t take much of the bending over.
Here’s a funny (since she wasn’t hurt). I transplanted a clematis earlier in the week for Momma. She bent over to pick up the vines so they would climb a trellis and ended up doing a somersault. She bounced up (as much as an 85 year old can bounce) and said “I still got moves!” I’m all panicked 😱 and she’s like 😁. Parenting adults is rough y’all

You have been busy!!! I haven’t harvested any comfrey yet this year and the only thing we have in are onions. Planning on planting peas this week. We have the ground prepared for sweet potatoes when our slips are ready. We have never grown them before. Has anyone else in our area (W PA) grown them with any luck? We have most things in raised beds, mostly because we live on the side of a mountain practically and I don’t feel like walking down to the bottom of it every time I want a tomato. Glad your mom is doing well. She is lucky to have someone to care enough about her to allow her to do what she can while she can. I remember building a little raised bed for my dad to continue gardening. Take care and wishing you a productive year. Keep on keeeping on.

This will be my first year to grow sweet potatoes. I know they will do well in my area just waiting on the slips to root.
