Potato Harvest

Jesse and Eli Harvesting Potatoes

This summer, we once again took a try growing our own vegetables.  We don't have a traditional garden, as our backyard is almost completely shaded.  In fact, the only really sunny area in our whole yard is our patio which is paved with concrete.  So we plant in pots.  This summer we planted potatoes, butternut squash, broccoli (which was completely eaten by the groundhogs who live under our shed), green peppers, and tomatoes.  Truth be told, we haven't really had much of a harvest.  We either have black thumbs or we just don't have a yard for growing things.  But, a few days ago, we harvested the potatoes.  We had planted yukon gold variety.  There were less than I was expecting, but the ones we got look fantastic.  So that night for dinner I made a Sheppard's Pie, with the potatoes from our harvest.  It was delicious!
