Potatoes in a bucket, potatoes in a bucket...

Our last harvest was actually a month ago, right after the first frost.  The last things to come in were some small green tomatoes (which have slowly turned red and been eaten by the boy 1 at a time), some jalapenos (kind of frost bitten, so they were frozen whole), carrots, and the (in)famous potatoes in a bucket.  (link to youtube video...enjoy).

 The two buckets on the right are the potato buckets, the tops are wilted because of the first frost--so it is time to harvest!!!

 Here is one of the buckets, dumped out and ready to get all my potatoes!

 Hmm...this is all we got from both buckets.  Potatoes in a bucket?  Fail...but the ones we got were tasty :)

 Poor little jalapenos...they do have a future in chili, though...

Check out all those carrots, though!  Surely we'll have a lot of  carrots!

Well, yes, we do have a lot of short, fat carrots...which are now in an open bag in the bottom of the fridge...waiting for me to make lots of meals that use carrots.


Good-bye outdoor garden...I'll be over-caring for the pot of basil, the ivy, the cacti, and the aloe plant inside until spring....
