I just got back from a short stint of supply teaching and went out to the garden to dig some remaining potatoes for supper tonight.
Can you tell these were growing close to the compost bin? Chicken manure and shavings also go in the compost! I apologize for not knowing how to turn this image. It’s the first time I’m posting from my phone.
It was such a good growing summer. I had the best onions and carrots I’ve ever grown as well.
Nice looking tatties!!
ReplyDeleteAs they say, you get out what you put in!!
Great potatoes! Great growing location!
ReplyDeleteThey are exceptional! I am regretting not planting potatoes this year as I had tons for Thanksgiving dinner last year.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a very good year for growing...Those spuds are magnificent!
ReplyDeleteYeah, nice spuds!
ReplyDeleteVery nice!!
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Yum!
ReplyDeleteYour compost is like gold. The potatoes are a testament to the wonders of having a great compost to feed the garden.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful potatoes. Bet they taste wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreat size - and the flavour and texture was good too we hope???
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your potatoes. They look terrific
ReplyDeleteHave you tried growing potatoes under straw? It works.

Grown close to the compost bin, you say? I can relate to that. Grass (sod?) surrounds a couple of our compost bins on three sides and when I mow I could use one of those mowers you see cutting grass alongside the highway. The grass is so heavy, thick, and lush. It took me a while to figure out why it was so different than that in the rest of the lawn. (I'm slow.) Those taters are monsters. Hope they tasted wonderful. I'm sure they did!
ReplyDeleteHere in Connecticut we had an excellent growing season as well! And the purple potatoes were divine! We have two crates full in the basement. Glad to see all is well in your world -
ReplyDeleteWow those are great potatoes. Hope they are yummy. Have a great day today. xoxo Kris
ReplyDeleteThose spuds are looking good!
ReplyDeleteThose taters look awesome! Enjoy them. Hugs, Edna B.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! You grew baking potatoes! Those are really goodlooking potatoes. We had a good growing season here too.
ReplyDeleteWow. Those are full grown!
ReplyDeleteThose are some big taters you got, Mam! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteNice potatoes!!! You've reminded me to go and check on mine!!
ReplyDeletedo homegrown potatoes taste different/better than those bought in the store?
ReplyDeleteEgads! Those are a meal all their own! I bet they are delicious.
ReplyDeleteYou DID have a good growing season! Those potatoes are huge!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, that's some big taters! Are you enjoying being a sub teacher? I considered doing that but decided against it in the end. Feeling like Canada here this morning with the temp below 40.
ReplyDeleteWow nice potatoes
