Day 256 Saturday, Sept 26

This is the day we harvested our potatoe crop - or most of it, anyway.

Rob and Lana, their girls, Daniel, Vinj and Kath and I worked from 10 a.m. till about 3 p.m to dig 6 1/2 rows of about 50 hills/row.

The potatoes are beautiful! Not a single one with 'scabs' or blemishes of any sort.






















The potatoes started out in this same tractor bucket, as cut up seed potatoes. This is but one row of harvested tubers:







To see a photo of the seed potatoes in the tractor bucket, go to this post.




Daniel did a great job cleaning up the cellar in preparation for storing our harvest:



Just compare this photo with the one from yesterday!

Wow! You got some BIG potatoes! Mine didn't even grow at all this year (I have a really bad garden soil-wise) so I am pretty jealous! :)
