My first potatoes have sprouted. I planted these in a patch of bare soil between my rosemary plant and some shrubs next to the driveway. This is all very exciting. My beans have sprouted, too, and are growing more quickly than the corn. I'm wondering how the beans are supposed to climb the corn. I still haven't been able to get the clover to grow in the sunflower patch with anything like a uniform coverage. I'd say about 5% of the soil is covered the way I'd like it to be, and another 5% has some coverage, at least. The new farmers of SAMAD doubtless had a first season like this.
