First potato harvested!



While it’s definitely on the smallish side (3” x 2”) and only about 95 grams, it still will make a nice side to my dinner this evening! It’s a Russet and was grown from some old store bought Russet’s I planted earlier this spring. Since potatoes offer up about a calorie a gram, this one will come in at about 90 calories after it is nuked in the microwave.

Potatoes grown this way are the gift that just keeps on giving! As long as the plants survive that is. I’m hoping to have a modest harvest this season and will plan to grow more next year. While I am not in a survival mode, I am getting prepared as best I can for tougher economic conditions in 2013!
