I dug my garlic and it's drying on the porch. 59 bulbs.

I dug one hill of flowering potato plant. 4 tiny tubers.

Happy Fourth, everyone! Be safe and enjoy the day!

Isn't it early to dig for potatoes?

Yes. But I've been told that if the plant is flowering, it has small tubers. Okaaaaaayyyy.... Very small. Teeny-weeny. Maybe some people get useable taters, but not me this time.

I'll wait for the normal time, ie, the plant dying back.

Well, curiosity might get the better of me in a month. Especially if I get the air fryer attachment for my Instant Pot.

You can always just stick your hand around the edges and pull out a few potatoes, but keep the plant growing.

Yeah. That's what I'll do next time. I wanted to see what was down there, and it was a bit crowded in the area with some "volunteers" that came up too.

The family went to the fireworks display. I stayed home. I'm just not feeling up to it.

daughter's house is on a hill. It was nice to be able to see 4 different fireworks displays going off from a distance like a competition---and not so loud for us.
