I survived my dental appointment and since it was cooler than it has been, cleared the long grass and oxalis from a corner of the back yard and put in some potatoes that had sprouted and that I'd kept cool in the basement. Who knows, maybe they'll produce. Failing that, there were once morning glories back there—I found and removed the broken-off base of a pole—so they may come back from the watering.
