Floating row cover (unknown origin) over beet bed and potato pots; so far Bintje only potatoes to appear

Beets:  Seeing all those leaf miner eggs on the chard, and remember all the grody leaf miner damage from last year, figured wouldn't it be nice to have pristine beet leaves.  So, the beet bed is now covered by FRC (unknown origin i.e. might be dollar store, might be Lee Valley).

Potatoes:  Similarly, remembering all the flea beetles from last year and while waiting for the kaolin clay to arrive, decided to try putting FRC over the pots.  Super easy to do since the containers are half-empty currently; just covered and secured with twine.  (FRC of unknown origin i.e. might be dollar store, might be Lee Valley.)

Speaking of potatoes, so far only the Bintje have appeared.
