Potatoes planted, in ground and in pots -- with some mineralized rock phosphate (all "Banana" fingerling variety from Ritchie's)

Oooh, a nice bed of potatoes for probably the first time ever, in the prime spot:  northwest corner including where the asparagus bed was (which I removed today, see other post).  Nice and deep good soil there, so I've stored four buckets in the basement to pour over the bed area in the coming weeks.  The bed has 4 rows each with 4 potatoes (intact, each with multiple sprouts).  Sprinkled each row with 3 Tbsp mineralized rock phosphate which I loosely dug in.

In pots:  The largest terracotta-colour pot has 3 potatoes and is next to the air conditioner.  Then, as an experiment, two of the black traditional potato pots along the fence (i.e. in shade), each with 4 small potatoes.  Added 3 Tbsp mineralized rock phosphate to each pot.
