We worked in the garden. Planting seed potatoes was the goal. There were quite a few steps involved, and some extra steps added just because. I raked hay mulch off the row, Sam did some broadforking to loosen the soil. Then we decided to renew the paths on either side with fresh woodchips. This involved digging and carting loads of chips. It was more than I wanted to do, but I&#8217;m glad it&#8217;s done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_9945-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_9945-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_9945-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">New paths in progress<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_9946-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_9946-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_9946-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">New paths finished and potatoes planted<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another kind of labor, stitching.
