All your hard work will start to pay off here shortly. BTW, keep your seed packets out of the rain. Just teasing, funny as heck though.

Sweet potatoes harvested for slips.
The slips are in a soup of soil and water, by the time they take root the soup will be dried to moist potting soil.

Worth, your peas are lookin good. I don't know when you planted but I bet in 60 to 70 days after germination you will be picking peas. As long as the weather doesn't get too hot I'm betting you will be fine.

Okay I am finished planting rattlesnake beans.
Both bean Tepees now have them planted around them.
I finished the net on the octopus octagon.
The octopus octagon will also have Boston pickling cucumbers planted around it too.
Pictures below are the cucumber seedlings and the darn peas are starting to bloom.

I love spotting Smokey in your pictures, it's like Where's Waldo almost.

What Hellmanns said, though, everything looks great!

Due to my busy goings on for breakfast and lunch I have been just going out and eating Swiss chard and the Loquat fruit for a meal.
Not unhealthy at all I don't think and I have been losing weight to boot.
