Things are blooming!

The potatoes are flowering, which means they are almost ready to harvest as a baby new potato.

Here's more of the frame on the new hoophouse. It is amazing what you can do with a pickup truck, a chainsaw, a cordless drill, and a bag of deck screws (I guess I also used a post hole digger and a step ladder). The hoophouse isn't real straight, but it's not bad considering I had to just eyeball all the cuts with the chainsaw, and it basically only needs to hold up 6 millimeter plastic and the tomato trellises.
