an all spud day in my back yard

i brought in the last of the russets from the potato patch in my yard today...some are going to my daughter and son-in-law...and a few are going to be lunch...fried maybe...too bad the sunchokes aren't done yet...but that will have to wait...i harvested just shy of forty pounds of spuds from these plants and i have yukon golds out there to dig yet...a fair season for a limited space...after i dug the tubers i mixed up another slurry of green manures and rhizobia inoculant and planted the other half of the patch to recharge the soil...not too sure yet what is going in this space next season...won't be spuds, but i am thinking pole beans and snow peas in a bed in the community garden so there may be some additional plants on the south side of the house...maybe something more exotic
