She stuck in her thumb, and pulled out a . . . potato!
I grew them for the first time this year - two heirloom varieties from Landreth Seed. They were grown in Grow Bags, in a mix of organic soil and vermicompost, and they're delicious!
They came in many different sizes and shapes, Nadezda! Some were marble-sized, and some were as big as my whole hand! There were some that were very odd-shaped - a few look like snowmen!
I love potatoes fresh from the ground. My neighbor used to supply us with all kinds of potatoes. I miss them, (my neighbors as well as the potatoes) Balisha
Sure is nice having neighbors who like their share their garden produce, Balisha! I can imagine you must miss them - must have been nice people, as gardeners usually are!
When I visit my mom and her Garden Buddy in Wisconsin, they often sends me home with some of their delicious, home-grown potatoes. Store potatoes, not even organic, compare with home-grown!

Very healthy and enough big potato. I think because you grew them in special bags.

DeleteHurray for you!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of fun growing them, Carolyn!
DeleteNice!!!!! I only grew these one year and they were delicious
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'll grow them next year, Deanne - too much watering in the bags. But I'm glad I did it!
DeleteI love potatoes and tried growing them in a container, not so successful.
ReplyDeleteAw, sorry to hear they didn't do great for you, Gail. I think the worm poo in our Grow Bags made all the difference! :~)
DeletePass the sour cream.
ReplyDeleteAnd lots of butter, some sea salt, and fresh-ground pepper!
