TATERS IN!

Nice and sunny, snow almost gone, so I finally dug the last of the Kennebecs today.  Sizes range from that of a good-size pea to just over 19 ounces with a good many in the 6-ounce range—not the kind of uniformity one would expect in the local supermarket.  The good crunchy texture and real potato taste more than make up for that, though.  Finding a perfect 5-ounce Dark Red Norland I had missed earlier was a nice surprise.

Those potatoes grew in an area that 18 months ago was nothing but useless lawn grass struggling with dandelions and black medic in mostly clay soil.  Stay tuned, as I’ll try to get an item on converting lawn (or whatever…) to useful garden space without much work posted sometime before sleigh bells interrupt the proceedings.
