frühkartoffeln (early potatos) - mid may

in garden •  2 months ago

    the weather is great, but it's all drying out.
    I need rain.

    Expecting a dry summer; they keep forecasting rain in 7 days.
    ...and every day they correct it further back.
    This is the same pattern I observed the years before, when it wouldn't rain for months.
    Essentially, they predicted the weather wrong for 3- 4 months. Ridiculous.

    On a positive note, the potatos are doing great. They will probably end up small, but the small ones are usually very flavorful.

    My friend's children planted them (under my supervision) and somehow managed to miss every row 😂

    Anyways, I think this will be a good experience for the kids - from planting to harvest and eating them end of June.

    One good day of rain would have a huge impact, though.
    Maybe I should hire a shaman.
    Or organize a 'rave for rain'.
    At this point, it seems more promising than asking a metereologist for an accurate forecast...
