One row planted!

Mom calls them hay burners....

.....I call them black gold makers!

This is some of the compost that I just pulled from our pile. I've put some in the raised potato bed. I planted 1 lb. 12 oz of seed potatoes, wonder how many pounds I'll harvest later.

I heart homesteading

This fall while we were harvesting our garden this little gem made it's way to the surface. It's a reflection of how I feel about 1. homesteading 2. digging potatoes and 3. life in general. I couldn't stand the thought of eating it without taking a picture and posting it here so I put it in the windowsill by the sink (until I could do that) and believe that's why it appears to be green (it was there for more than a week.) Note: Potatoes exposed to light turn green and I've heard that green potatoes are toxic...... I think I'll peel it and see!
