Spuds!

I do love potatoes.  Yes, I do.  So I was very happy when Cindy harvested these out of one of the grow bags out behind the fence.

New Crop of Potatoes

She initially left them on a tray on the ground outside to dry off, so that it would be easier to brush the remaining dirt off, but I've seen Big Mama, the matriarch of the California Ground Squirrel colony, busily scarfing up bird seed under the bird feeder recently.  She's obviously bulking up in preparation for delivering her next litter.

I'm not sure how Big Mama feels about potatoes, but we decided to move them into the garage to dry; she's not getting these spuds.
