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.

Average last frost dates are only right half of the time
Our last frost date in my area should have been March 24th but given the frosty mornings this past week and the fact we had snow coming down most of today it looks like this year our last frost date will fall on the other side of the bell curve. Unfortunately, I was optimistic with some of the great weather we were having earlier and planted my tomato seeds…

Releasing ladybugs in your garden
When we started my garden at my our current house my daughters and I noticed we didn’t have any ladybugs roaming around the leaves. Now I would like to think that aphids and mites feared me so much to dare to step foot in my garden, but the reality is I live in a newer neighborhood with vegetation in its early stages and with the lush forest around me…

Successive Pea Planting
Last year by 5 year old learned she likes to pick and eat fresh pea pods and was very diligent on harvesting new peas as she found them. Unfortunately this meant less peas for me. This year I am using successive planting to ensure I get my fill this year but also do not get overwhelmed with one big harvest all at once. I started the process about a…

How to grow potatoes with a potato tower
width=”508″ height=”381″ /> I like to grow and eat potatoes, the problem is they can easily take over a plot of land and more than likely you will be growing potatoes in the same spot for a few years (not very good crop rotation) when one or two stray spuds don’t get harvested and a plant pops up the next year. One great solution to this problem is a…

Garden walkthrough
width=”549″ height=”412″ /> This bed holds all of my cold season crops, I also chose varieties that do not really need to be watered too often given it is a pain to drag a hose out to this location so it normally gets neglected. Here I have onions (bunching and bulbs), leeks, carrots (still small), cilantro (coriander at this point), garlic, romaine lettuce, and surrounded by strawberry plants in…

I believe Plato was credited with the quote, “Necessity, who is the mother of invention.” As the Cheap Vegetable Gardener I prefer, “Laziness, who is the mother of invention.” With laziness and some boredom on the bus while riding to work with my laptop this motivated me to create “CVG’s Contest Winner Pickorama.” Basically I pass in the comment RSS feed and it extracts any duplicates (or my name…

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.
