Taterin'...

These days in the garden are busy days.  There's always something to do and never enough time to do it!  Situations like these force you to prioritize.  Do I edge and mulch the flower beds or plant peas and potatoes?  Do I take time to kick back with a coldie and enjoy the gardens and all the work I've done?  Certainly you must do the latter at some point.  The rains were coming this week though, so I knew I needed to stop everything and get to taterin'.  We had several Kennebec potatoes left over from last season that I used as seed potatoes for this year's crop.  They were on the smaller side and had already started sprouting after spending the winter in our cool basement.

I dug and I dug and I dug.....

...and I finished just in time for the first rain drops to fall.  And then I cracked open that coldie.  :)
