spuds


so yesterday before the rains came, i ventured out to dig potatoes. i was very very close to just leaving them in the ground, never to be seen again. i get that way with the garden by this time of year .... but i have to admit it was kind of fun unearthing them! they were bright pink, kind of pretty before the mud dried on em.

i dug about half of em, maybe a third. we'll see if i get the rest done. probably not, if i had to guess. i will not be planting them again, because for the $8 i paid for the seed potatoes, i will be lucky if i get $8 worth of goods. still, it feels good to know i am able to grow em up. well, me and God :)
