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.

Using alfalfa pellets as cheap organic fertilizer for your lawn and garden
We all know if you walk into a grocery store the organic produce is always more expensive than produce grown using non-organic methods. Using deductive reasoning it seems easy to determine that this would mean growing vegetables organically will cost me more than if I used non-organic methods. What is a cheap vegetable gardener to do? One disadvantage (and advantage) to organic fertilizer is that it is not as…

Light sensitive automated grow light

It uses a photoresister to detect when lights get low and proceeds to turns on some red LEDs to provide the plants a few extra hours of light.

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.
