Harvesting "Taters" Today

We had such a great time today. Who in the world would have ever thought that digging "taters" would be fun. Two of the women from our group, Haywood Connections arrived at 10 am this morning. They were in for a real adventure.

First we geared up with gloves, and cutting tools and headed to the garden. Once there we began. While I picked up the potatoes that had popped their heads through the soil the other three began cutting the pig weed off the rows.

Now that the rows were weeded it was time for a break. Besides being a little warm, a break was well needed because we are all senior citizens. Barbara is the youngest and really not a full fledged senior yet.

After snack and cool diet coke we set off again into the garden rows. Dig, dig, dig. We dug only 2 long rows and came up with about 7 or 8 bushels.

Well, don't think for one minute that we are finished. Tomorrow Betty and Mattie are coming out to do the very same thing. Hope they are up to some fun and dirt.

Thanks for reading. I truly would love to know who you are and what you are thinking about gardening. Please take a few moments to contact me. I'd love to hear what you have to say! Your opinion counts with me!
