                                                                      It was too early but I just couldn't resist finding out what was going on under that ground.  The 3 potatoes that popped out as I pulled on the stalk are small but they smell sweet and delicious and tingled in my hand as I held them.  Hmm... perhaps 3 small potatoes and fresh broccoli from my CSA for dinner?

                                                                      Picture
