Gardening Update: Children of the Potato
I decided to harvest my potatoes two days ago, because of a combination of crazy thoughts like: “are they ready yet it said 100 days to harvest”, “i can’t tell if my plant is actually dying or just dying back like it should” and “oh my god this heat is killing me everything I love”.
So, I decided, what the hell, let’s just do this already and see what happens! I pinched off the tops of the plants and separated the sand on top as best I could from the soil below and put it off to the side to use again later. I dug a bit and it wasn’t too long until I found my first potato! When I first saw it I actually thought it’d be bigger, but it fooled me because of it’s oblong shape. (damn sneaky potato) I was sort of disappointed by the size of the rest as well, but there was no going back now.
Anyhow, what you can see in the photos above is what I managed to get from my bucket-o-babies Baby potatoes! After gently washing them I tried one of the teeny ones and, hey, it tasted like a potato! (albeit, raw) So I knew I didn’t completely fail! I put them in the fridge, and tonight my mom cut em up, put some salt, olive oil, and Italian herbs on them and put em to bake.
And oh my god, were they delicious.
Yukon Golds, you didn’t fail me, and I will definitely be growing you again come fall when we aren’t having such crazy weather. THEN I will let let you grow to full size and finally harvest some bigger potatoes.
And with that, my adventures in growing potatoes has come to a small, but delicious end, and I can’t wait to start again in 6 months. :]
