Soon to be spuds
I had a meeting of my art club this afternoon, so I left Uncle B to do what he does best – dig holes. I am informed this is a well-respected second early potato called Jazzy. It will render up tubers on July 21.
I am unaccustomed to potatoes with names. As far as I’m concerned, there are three kinds of potatoes: new potatoes, red potatoes and Idaho bakers.
It is a complicated place.

“I am unaccustomed to potatoes with names.”
I guess you just hang out with a different crowd. Would you like me to introduce you to my buddy, Fred? He claims to be from The Yukon.

Sorry to be such a nudge but it’s time to migrate the current DP to the sidebar.

Dang. Now I’m feeling all sophisticated an’ shit. I got the new, red, and Idaho bakers, plus Russet (are those the same as the Idaho ones?), Yukon Gold, and McDonald’s.

I once met the head potato guy at Lay’s, he had some opinions about potatoes.

Russets, Purple, Blue and Fingerlings.
And you’re a southern girl.
Sweet Potatoes! (I know, not a potato)
I planted a sweet potato slip that I have kept growing all winter. In the pot for a day, yesterday. I checked on it today…the fairies must have taken it. Not a trace this morning!

Did I leave off the Dead Pool tag again, tehfritz? I’ll check.

I now know you cannot edit your name once submitted, just the content.
