Potatoes

Well, I guess I was wrong, I do have potatoes. Mainly blue ones, some reds. I discovered this after some extra digging. Then when I actually found a bucket worth of potatoes I realized that there were probably potatoes where I had planted beans two weeks before. I did this because on intial inspection I didn't find any and since the plants hadn't flowered I figured that crop was a bust. Well, I moved the beans, we will see how many survive and dug down on the other side and sure enough there were pototoes. Not too many, but a few. The red ones were much smaller than the blues ones. I did not move the cucumber since it had been there too long.

Well, lesson learned and hopefully if I can keep some of the blue potatoes from sprouting in the next two months I can use a few of them for seed potatoes for the fall.
