Lazy Me Digging the Potatoes

Haha – look at this mess! Twas once a potato patch!

I can’t believe I’ve managed to put off for so long digging the remaining potatoes.
Not as big of a harvest as other seasons… well… some in part due to me scruffing into the plot for 2 months longer than normal.
Also even though the season wasn’t hot… it was windy so I reckon I didn’t water enough up this end.

Some good sized ones in there…

Fast forward and done!

There are still a few rogue patches of them around here and there… like this lot near the bottom of the corn patch

While I was grubby… I decided to pull out a couple of bales of straw and bed this plot down for winter.


Straw complete with some dogs vomit fungi haha (and ew)

Carrot patch is being nibbled on still…

I pulled up a carrot for dinner and then forgot to cook it!

A couple of the beetroot have grown huge!

I also need to run about with a basket SOON to get more of the tomatoes.
First I need to finish sorting out the others I’ve cooked and half made into sauce!

Grabbed the ripe chilli’s – time also to make the sweet chilli sauce!

All this stuff is interrupting my soapmaking!!!

Something for the salad at dinner tonight!

Dont forget to comment if you would like a chance to have a Ruby Rug… And its really sweet those concerned about shipping overseas… I am happy to do it… (It might go sea mail if its really exe, but it’ll get there.)
Might even have a sneaky bar of soap in it too…

Hope everyone has had a great weekend (Will tell market tales later)
Cheers!

  1. That looks like a great potato harvest to me!! I think about Ruby often when I sit in my garden with a cup of tea!

  2. You’re pulling out the last of your potatoes and I spent The weekend putting mine in! Can’t wait to have the fresh potatoes, even if I’m running late getting them in the ground.

  3. I would love a bar of your soap! My gardening is at a standstill. We still had frost last night. Hopefully, in a week I can finally get stuff put in. Missing Ruby Tuesday for sure.
