Potatoes in the clay today. More beets, spinach, arugula, peas, and lettuce too. Cheated the weather a bit and buried some tomato plants in the ground encircled by used tires. Creates heat. Shields wind. I'll cover the plants with recycled water cooler bottles after the rain that comes tonight ceases on Sunday. Tiny little greenhouses.

I caught a glimpse of Juan Martin del Potro's match today. Saw him injury his hip. He better be okay. The ATP needs him healthy. His forehand is outrageous again. Saw Fernando Verdasco upset too.

Talk about the tennis you saw.

I'm back to the field.
