Thanks to the amazing folks who worked on their hands and knees for some hours over the weekend removing weeds, rock, and clods of grass from the waiting sweet potato hills, today's planting of the slips was a breeze.

We had so many early volunteers that the work was finished by the time the latecomers arrived, and they weren't really that late (no one was docked). Everyone helped give the new plants a dose of water from the barrel, though the good soaking from yesterday's storm made my boots go schlurp, schlurp with every muddy step.
All our community crops and individual gardens look to be planted - now it's a matter of keeping ahead of the weeds and the bugs. We stand ready to water, but we're counting on the blessing of ample rain and abundant sunshine - all in the right proportions at just the right time in the season.
