Late April in the Garden, Potatoes

Following the progress of the garden this year, weeds, grass and an invasion of "wooly worms" a highly destructive caterpillar have taken a toll on this year's crop, as well a lack of rain has made things challenging where at this time last year the entire potato crop was lost to flooding. I'm not certain the perfect year ever exists, home gardening means learning to deal with adversity and make the most of it.
