It's only about five pounds, but it was also only those that I could see peeking above the dirt. I don't know what's hiding down below, and I haven't harvested the potato towers, yet.

About Me
- Wendy
- I'm growing roots, both figuratively and literally, in the suburbs of southern Maine with Deus Ex Machina, our great kids, a flock of suburban chickens, some whacky ducks, and a herd of rabbits.
Foraged wildflowers make the table just a bit prettier.
Advance praise for Surviving the Apocalypse in the Suburbs" by John Michael Greer, author The Long Descent: A User's Guide to the End of the Industrial Age
In this eminently practical and thoughtful book, Wendy Brown takes on the challenge of exploring the options for surviving and thriving through hard times in the suburbs, and carries it off with aplomb. Highly recommended!

Those are some huge spuds! Have you seen any blight on them?
They're not really that big ;). I haven't seen any thing on them. They all seem to be growing just fine ;).
Isn't digging potatoes just like a treasure hunt? I always wanna shout 'Eureka!' when I find one....
I love digging potatoes-you just never know what you'll get. I do always manage to "stab" my largest spud with the digging fork though.
:(
yay!!!!!!!!!!!!
mmmmmmmm, nothing like spuds, fresh from the dirt! we had a couple of little ones yesterday, with a splash of butter. Almost like dessert!
Those look fabulous! I'm growing red potatoes this year and it will be a while till they are ready. Potatoes are really fun to grow. Just wish I had more room.
We've been digging up our potatoes, too. I planted a bunch this year, and they are just so tasty. I was kind of surprised that I can really taste the difference between the store-bought ones and my home-grown ones.
I ended up with 5 small potatoes. I need to plant again.
