Digging potatoes with Cayle

Cayle was helping with the digging. I would find the potatoes and then he would pick them up and put them in the bucket! He loved playing in the dirt.
He face planted and landed in the dirt. Shortly after this it was time for a face cleaning and a nap! He thoroughly enjoyed his time playing in the garden, and we were able to get a full bucket of potatoes in the process. The biggest of which was about double the size of the biggest russet potato I've ever seen. They were HUGE!!!

More Veggies!

Got our first yellow squash... we ate it already, and it was fantastic! First batch of Jalapenos, with more ready to be picked, some serrano, or other sort of pepper, (can't remember exactly what I planted...) but they are VERY HOT!!! and got our first 2 tomatoes.


Also decided to pull some potatoes, just to see if there was really anything growing under there or not...

It was hard work digging the potatoes out, but this is what I got from the smallest plant in the garden!!!
Below you can see the biggest one and the smallest one. Fresh Yukon Gold potatoes!
8 nice potatoes from the one plant. Still have 5 other plants to dig up at some point, so guess we will have lots of fresh potatoes!
