First potatoes by happypat

First potatoes

Great excitement this morning as we looked to see how the potatoes were doing. Enough for tea tonight but they still need more time.

I'm posting early today as we are on baby sitting duty until tomorrow afternoon.
Anthony & Jo are having a night in Manchester, off to the Comedy Store & then a curry afterwards.

Not a brilliant photo focus wise...too close but it shows the moment!

Three good things:
1. Cathy is coming to help me put them to bed.
2. An insight into Bomber Command during the war ......I take my hat off to those brave men, my father included. Reading a book recommended by @judithg A God in Ruins by Kate Atkinson. Enjoying it immensely.
3. The gift of a wonderful chocolate cake.

Thanks for the top gardening tip - was wondering whether to dig mine - I didn't plant them this year - or last - so no idea what type they are! Glad you're enjoying the book - I thought the bomber parts were the best bits - really educational.

How lovely. Love the way the kids are waiting with bated breath.

Good luck with the babysitting duty.

A wonderful shot of all men waiting in anticipation -- I can just imagine the sweet beautiful new potatoes with lovely butter !! I can only dream while I eat my supermarket bought early jersey !
Enjoy the baby sitting duties and bedtime stories !!

Good for the boys to see produce coming from the soil and to taste the special flavour! Do you need Cathy to put them to bed - is that a difficult task - perhaps just company? Grandmas are special!

@maggiemae no Cathy just came for the company & to help bath etc.....think she wants to spend as much time as possible....every hand helping is good though...we had fun!
