Our friend came and held the baby so I started weeding the potatoes while we visited. Brian joined in and with the two of us working at we got almost through the patch. The potatoes are a whole story on their own. The short version is that we fought the Colorado potato beetle and the beetle won, and then the weeds came on fast when I was busy learning to be a Mom. The plants are pretty much annihilated but luckily they didn’t succumb until most of the growing was done so there are still some potatoes to be dug. We pulled up some potatoes with the weeds and set the potatoes on the clothesline – out of reach of the dogs. Eventually the clothesline was full plus some.
Here with a little cropping, just for fun.

Very unique photo….good story too 🙂
I liked the story too. my garden was a disaster this year. I got some lettuce…that’s about it. Thanks again for the email the other day. You’re so sweet. 🙂
Well Hello! So glad you were able to participate. I do hope to see you again!
(and I am jealous of your potatoes. Didn’t plant any this year. Ran plumb out of room. BUT. That and onions are going to be my main focus next year. And garlic. One can never have too much garlic! 🙂
