   HARVEST

Potatoes tell when they are ready to harvest. The ground near the roots starts to break apart and the leaves fall off to the sides.
 

Pulling each plant near the root reveals a few of the potatoes it has produced.

Digging with hands in gloves shows how much of a harvest this season in this small metal container.

 

Potatoes and onions now with most every meal. Fresh from the ground produce also shared with neighbors.

Two years ago the potatoes rotted in the ground from the heavy rains. Last year the bugs won. This year, "pass the butter and salt, please."

THE ERUPTION OF MOUNT ST. HELENS

Found on the Feral Irshman 

A great look back in time. I remember that folks could not drive the I-5 freeway due to clogging of the engine air filters.

Another planting season is ahead of me. What to plant? Will ready the emptied containers, freshen the dirt and put some more seeds in the ground. 

Appreciate the visit this week.
