Potatoes!

Our Potato Crop

Cindy planted some seed potatoes in two grow bags almost a year ago, and they've been quietly growing away ever since.

We were initially afraid that the varmint that stole the False Sea Onion bulb last January would also go after the potatoes, but Cindy created some of her anti-varmint cages out of hardware cloth and electrical ties to protect the plants until they were big enough to fend for themselves.

Today she pulled out the plants in one of the bags, dug around and found that we really do have potatoes.  In fact, she pulled up two pounds of them, and that's just from one of the two grow bags.

Considering how fond I am of potatoes in almost every form, this is really good news.
