It is a bit late, but so is everything this year. I planted Magic Molly, a purple variety, and Banana fingerlings, both seed potatoes from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fedcoseeds.com\/moose\/\">Moose Tubers<\/a> in Maine. The Magic Mollies (six cut-up pieces with nice large eyes) went in next to the fence behind the asparagus and the fingerlings were planted in two rows next to the garlic. When I was digging the trenches, I found a ton of worms in the soil. Yay! I also planted sunflowers in my plot.<\/p>\n<p>On our back porch, I planted Swiss Chard, lettuce and nasturtiums and transplanted some mint I had weeded out in my plot into a planter. Other plans for my back porch include tons of herbs \u2013 sage, thyme, rosemary, parsley, basil, Thai basil, maybe cilantro -, eggplant, hot pepper and perhaps a small-fruiting tomato variety. And a few pots with flowers.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-717\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/tulips-05_04_2018.jpg?resize=695%2C685&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"695\" height=\"685\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/tulips-05_04_2018.jpg?resize=1024%2C1010&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/tulips-05_04_2018.jpg?resize=300%2C296&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/tulips-05_04_2018.jpg?resize=768%2C757&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/tulips-05_04_2018.jpg?resize=1100%2C1085&amp;ssl=1 1100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/tulips-05_04_2018.jpg?resize=96%2C96&amp;ssl=1 96w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/tulips-05_04_2018.jpg?w=1422&amp;ssl=1 1422w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I planted my potatoes.
