I like to share articles that are from reputable sources. TEMU pays for first hits, and some other nonreputable sources do the same, so I like to recommend the better ones with much better gardening advice.
Here is one about planting potatoes, in case this is new to you!

Let's talk potatoes. Though many people are familiar with when to plant potato crops, others may question how deep to plant potatoes once they're ready for growing. This article will help you with that.

Reported on the tablecloth and tarp covering the stones next to the house to suppress weeds AND the 3 big pots of potatoes now getting rained on in my mint bed, on the other thread.
I also weeded by porcelain garlic, dug out several not so deep dandelions and a few smaller burdock, and chickweed and young curly dock.
I will need to cover the spaces in between my chicken wire fencing. TOO many weeds went to seed there last year.
I also re seeded the 2nd row of fencing with 92 more Sugar Snap Peas, and about a dozen of them were seeds that I had saved from my meager attempt last year, when 5 grew and I nabbed the dried out pods.
For this re seeding and the one a few days ago I planted them barely 1/2 in, just making the row, placing them on it and lightly covering them with soil so you can't see them.
I actually have ONE Alaska pea up, and I am thinking that it's from the reseeding I did last week.
I checked on the 4 grapes that I planted in a temporary pot on Tuesday. They looked a little bit shriveled so I gave them another gallon of water. Now the soil is saturated and I am thinking that will help.
My back could NOT take moving one more big pot, so I will try moving them to the west window, where the potatoes Were tomorrow, so that they can get better light than a 60 watt bulb and not as direct sunlight from the basement window. I think that they are little bit shocked. They don't look terrible or dead, I thought that they would be happy there and I don't want to transplant them until my established grapes have leafed out.
