I'm sure there are more down there but this one was peeking out. I'll wait a bit until they're larger, not much larger, I hope. Then I'll dig around. nancy |

They are much tastier than big potatoes. My father would have dug up all of them by now. They were rarely much bigger than a walnut. |

YUM!! Awesome. The only sweet potatoes I eat are the red ones with the white flesh. Could be fun to grow them. They are easy enough to grow. When your old potatoes start sprouting eyes just cut them into pieces, each with a few eyes. Cover them with about 3" of soil. When the sprouts are about a foot high, use a hoe to form a mound around the sprout. To harvest, stick a pitch fork into the ground a couple feet away from the plant and pry up and repeat closer to it so that you will loosen the soil and pop out the spuds without spearing them. Wash the dirt off and let them dry before putting them in storage. |

Small new potatoes straight from the garden are a real treat. |

They are much tastier than big potatoes. That is my goal. I want small potatoes, not even midsize. This one was delicious ... and fun to watch in the microwave, jumping beans got nothing on a tiny potato. Even when cut in half it still hopped around in there. nancy |

And you NEVER get them in most standard grocery stores, because the potatoes they sell have been sitting around for weeks since being harvested. John Kuthe... |

Nothing like a dinner than appears to be alive. Last night we were sitting down to eat on the patio when the dog sniffed something out. We assumed that it was a chipmunk that he was looking for, but then my wife spotted the snake. She freaked at first because she thought it was a rattlesnake... not by the colouring but because it had a huge flattish looking head. She could nto really see it well because it was in among the flowers in the garden. When it came out onto the patio I saw that it was just a fair sized garter snake with a toad half way down it's mouth. The dog grabbed the snake and shook it, freeing the toad. The little guy there stunned for a moment and then hopped away. |

That is a good idea if the skins are green because it is a sign of solanine, which is toxic. You would have to eat a lot of it to get sick. |
