Pears, beets, carrots, pumpkins & my favorite thing to dig & harvest.......potatoes!
This time of year finds me out collecting all the goodies I can find before a hard frost.
My collection will come to be warm & delicious on a cold winter day, which is just a few days away, Yikes!

Peasants, you don't hear this word today.
It is an old French word meaning: one from the countryside.
That's me!

The soil looks like it has a lot of clay in it. Is the color deceiving? Uusually takes fairly sandy soil to make room for potatoes to grow. Looks like you are getting a good yield. I love new potatoes (red) soft and tender. It is like a treasure hunt, finding the surprise bounty. Have fun.
ReplyDeletehow observant you are, yes, the soil here is clay
ReplyDeleteI am trying my best too add bunches of mulch to improve the soil
remember the black gold soil in Illinois?
love the hunting/digging for potatoes!
