Potatoes!

During the summer we had a plethora of potatoes in our pantry, we had bought some from the store, then Mike's mom had given us some she had bought in bulk, then someone from our ward came by with 2 big bags of potatoes they could not eat themselves, and we were not able to get though all the potatoes before some of them started sprouting all over the place.  Mike took about 15 sprouted potatoes and planted them out in our front yard, and we got some pretty big potato plants growing from them.  After I did some online research, and Mike talked to someone from work who was knowledgeable on the subject of harvesting potatoes, we decided to harvest them last night, and we got a pretty good crop.  We planted a few different kinds of potatoes, and the boys were so excited to help daddy pull them up.
 
 
 
 




 
Here is our entire potato harvest from this year:


 
Next year hopefully we will be able to get more of a garden going, and earlier, so we can enjoy more than just potatoes!
