(Meager) Harvest Dinner
The past few years haven't really been conducive to extensive gardening, so we've mostly just planted a couple of tomatoes and been good with that. I expanded the plantings to include potatoes this year, but due to watering issues, I thought the potatoes had pretty much all died off. When Maren was weeding the giant weed patch (aka the garden area) this past week, she found some actual potatoes that had grown to a size that we could actually eat them. I should have taken a picture, but I didn't, oh well. The largest was the size of a man's fist, the rest were all ping pong ball size or smaller. Because I failed to get to the store on Saturday, we didn't have any salad or fresh vegetables for Sunday dinner. I was really hoping that the tomato plants would have enough ripe to yield at least a few offerings for dinner. We were in luck! We had just enough potatoes to roast up with chicken (along with rosemary from our patio pots) and several small garden tomatoes to turn into caprese salad (along with basil from our patio pots). It may be our only harvest meal this season, but it was tasty :)

Sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed! I've never tried potatoes, and I didn't even get a garden planted this year.
