First potatoes :D

Last night I wanted to make a baked potato dish & decided it was time to go & see if there were many/any potatoes in the garden. For some reason I didn't expect to find anything, I'm not sure why, the potato plants grew like crazy :p They've pretty much completely died back now, & it looks like as though there was never anything there, but just below the straw mulch I found...

Our first potatoes!

(Sorry for the poor photo, I was a bit flustered at the time)

I was so excited, it was like they'd been placed there for me to find, like an easter egg hunt ':) just sitting in the soil. I wanted to dig them all up, but they keep really well in the ground, so I only took what I needed.

This puts potatoes on the record as one of our most successful veg, along with zucchinis & tomatoes :V

I've got a lot more to do out in the garden now that it's Autumn, so I'd better go get started...

Ja!
