First Potatoes

Well folks, the Russian Banana Fingerlings (that were substituted for Swedish Peanut) have arrived! We had a single broken plant thanks to wind or a cat or something, so we decided to dig up the potatoes for that plant to see how things looked. What a surprise when we harvested about 20 absolutely perfect, beautiful little spuds! No blemishes, no bugs - some were still spudlets, but some were pretty good sized. We put them into the ground at the beginning of April and now we have potatoes. We'll wait another week before pulling up more, just to give them a little time to get larger.
