Baby Potato
I was digging a little too close to my potato plants and accidentally knocked off this little guy. My daughter suggested we cook and eat it but decided taking a picture would be more appropriate.

Planting your second (fall) cold season crop
With my tomatoes changing colors and having a consistent harvest of cucumbers it is now time to start thinking about a second season crop of cold season vegetables. If you were less than successful with your spring cold season crop as I was, definitely consider giving a fall crop a try. There are many advantages since pests are less active and temperatures decrease and will lower temperatures and more…

Picking orange tomatoes
My youngest daughter has been very excited waiting to pick our tomatoes. She picked a green one a couple weeks back which I informed her that she needs to wait until they turn red, guess I needed to be more clear about “dark” red, since yesterday when we went out to our garden the first thing I heard was “I picked a matoe” which she is proudly displaying below.

Tomato seedlings in the PC Grow Box
The strawberry plant got too big for the PC grow box so I planted it back outside where it is doing great. Now my tomato plants have more room to grow and have to compete less for the limited light. I have been impressed with my tomato plants in the grow box. I think this is the first year I have grown tomatoes that were not all white and…

Not wanted to…

Science Fair – Will smaller seeds sprout faster?
This site was practically started because of my oldest daughters science fair project Why Don’t Strawberries Grow in the Wintertime? Now with my youngest in kindergarten she was very excited to have a science fair project of her own, which should be pretty obvious from the picture above. With no influence from me she decided on answering the question if smaller seeds will sprout faster. These days science fairs…

How sweet! Not even enough for a taste each!
I was actually surprised how much baby potatoes look like the full grown ones I really expected some tiny skinless freak potato.
They do look just like full sized potatoes. We just got our potatoes planted yesterday. Not much action yet. –Curmudgeon
I wonder if that counts as the first of the season? If so you have beaten my record by about 3 days!
LOL Is that a picture representing our buying power under the current economee?
Matron, well if these counted they would be a pretty sorry excuse for a harvest :)Robj98168, with the increased food prices might be the truth
That’s neat, we have never grown potato’s before. My kids would love to see a mini-tater.
Hi. I wandered over here from Rob’s blog and saw your baby potato. I’ve got that beat by a long shot! If you want to see my trio of mini-taters, you can check this old post. Ironically, I just “harvested” another little one yesterday – about the size of my pinkie fingernail.
