The kittens were too active to get good photos this morning.

Plants, on the other hand, are much more co-operative.

The first potato leaves have made their way through the mulch!

Yay!

Sadly, we are also down another sunflower. We found another one with just a stem, the leaflets gone. Total count is one less than yesterday.

We’ll still have a decent “wall” of sunflowers, but it will definitely have large gaps. If we do this again next year, we’ll know to get at least twice the number of seeds to start, and maybe even start them indoors, first. The sunflowers that have developed their true leaves seem to be left alone.
