The Great Potato Feast

Here is the story. Two seasons ago I threw a few potato eyes in a couple of my beds, and more in my compost. I harvested about ten pounds of potatoes at the end of the season. This past spring I did not plant any potatoes. Lo and behold, their foliage started showing up and growing, as shown here:

In one of my new raised beds in the penitentiary.
In the wagon garden.
In my window garden.








A few days ago I scraped this off the wagon garden:


The big one weighs almost a quarter kilo, 227g. Today I saw two other potatoes popping out of the soil in the window garden and I plucked them, here shown with the other harvests of the morning:

More beans, more carrots, more tomatoes and more of my mutated zucchini.


















The tomatoes are coming on strong, heirloom and friends shown here. So far I have harvested 2,327g of tomatoes; made three batches of tomato sauce and frozen one. I will be keeping track of the potatoes by weight as well.
