Pick tomatoes, dig potatoes...


See the new empty space?! I'm so happy to see empty garden space! Not because I'm going to plant anything else in it this year, but because it means things are being harvested and soon we can rest! (I realize I'm a lot grumpier about gardening than I've ever been this year.)


Here's what we harvested from the empty space. Around 25 pounds of potatoes! 3 more rows to harvest. Most of them are the beautiful Rose Apple Finn fingerlings, though there's also some Norland Reds (the old root cellar sprouted ones we planted in the old compost pile) and some Russetts.


Venus of Millendorf fingerling. (I'm a midwife, I see goddesses everywhere. ;)



Aside from the ever-ripening tomatoes in the garden, this is all I have left in the house! Woo hoo!
I made it through that huge box on the floor (and admittedly, gave some of those away to visiting friends on Saturday).


Urban deck fishers. Sadly, the only thing to catch are more tomatoes.

I think you have every reason to be grumpy about gardening, (and anything else you want to be grumpy about), with only 36 days or so to go before you finish growing that baby! :)

Very nice harvest! And I do love the "urban deck fishing" picture :-)

I love the potato goddess! Sounds like you're doing great work out there, despite whatever grumpiness you encounter. You inspire me. :)
