You Say Potato, I Say . . .

Wow! I have never grown potatoes before, so I am learning as I go. I didn't think they would be ready for a while, so I haven't bothered to check, but I read the other day that you can begin harvesting them as soon as blooms appear on the plants. Well, that happened a couple of weeks ago, so I decided to take a peek.Wow!

Of course, the longer you let them grow, up until fall, the bigger they'll get, so I'm not harvesting them all yet. But we did have a couple for dinner the other night, along with a handful of green beans that were ready.

I've been thinning my carrots. Our bunny, Heidi, is happy to help me dispose of the ones I pull up. In fact, it's one of her favorite treats.

My cucumbers are getting blooms too. All the rain we've had has made for new surprises every day!
