The volunteer potatoes from elsewhere in the garden that I dug up and transplanted a couple of days ago, side by side with the original settlers of these trenches. Guess which! The directly overhead view is the harshest, still, the transplants look a little huddled and scrunched, not the expansive riot of green growth of their neighbors. The roots of the new guys haven’t reestablished enough to pump a full measure of water to the stems and leaves, that’s my simple guess. Give them time to settle in.
