Yesterday Lucy and I worked in the potato field {yet again} harvesting potatoes. Would you believe we still have two more rows to go? Holy cow man, will it ever end? 😉
I called our local food bank and asked if they’d be interested in some home grown potatoes and they said YES.
Sweet diggety, now I don’t have to spend all winter eating hundreds and hundreds of pounds of potatoes. Don’t get me wrong, we love potatoes, but I’m expecting to harvest around 700- 1,000 spuds and even my Irish husband can’t eat that many.
We have a bunch of green zebra tomatoes too.
And check out these cute peppers. I think soft tacos will be on the menu this week.
I stopped to take a break on the potting bench and Lucy the trouble puggle dog decided to join me.
I’m not sure if all dogs like zucchini, but this one does.
Gardening in September is RAD!
How is YOUR garden doing?
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that  I’ll be able to continue to pick tomatoes through the beginning of October.
We’ll see.

We are finishing up, we already had a light frost that did in the cucumbers and peppers. The tomatoes are almost done, and it’s almost time to harvest the potatoes and carrots. First snow here is around the end of October, but this year I think it’s coming sooner.

With all those potatoes it has to bring you closer to your goal of 2000 pounds don’t you think? Wow I would love to get my hands on some of those organic potatoes! YUMM!!

I have to ask. What are those huge plum tomatoes? And do you grow all your tomatoes in the greenhouse?

This was our first year growing potatoes. My son (age 4) has been having a great time harvesting them. He thinks that it’s amazing that the plant grows and then one day there are potatoes. We’ve been using our garden to learn about bugs and about how things grow so it’s a cool thing.
