Harvesting the Potatoes

Katie helped harvest the potatoes.

"It's like panning for gold," Katie exclaimed as she found another red potato under the wilting stalks. "It's a golden nugget!"

I tried to grow red potatoes this year.  I want to figure out how to get them to keep adding layers of potatoes, but have been unsuccessful so far.  I did not tend the potato plants well this year, so the slugs got the best of them and the weather wilted them.  We pulled them early, but got a good number of potatoes.

The plan is to take them camping and fry them up with eggs and sausage one morning.  I'll try to remember to take my camera!
