Sunshine, well, an hour or so

The morning started off clear and sunny, there was a soft ground-hugging mist among the trees, one of natures finest moments, to this human at least.
Once again the morning started off with all the intentions of work but wound up having coffee & chat with friends a couple of idle hours which included a look thru an artist’s studio. This is what a tree change is like – random serendipity.
When work resumed I planted two rows of potatoes just using sprouting ones from the pantry. Every time I work this soil I am amazed at it’s excellent texture. The mineral content should be close to optimal by now so the organic material is the next component for attention.
Here are the potato trenches, look at the soil texture:
