Ahhh a true liberal. 

Now if the poor and needy wanted a ride id give them that but they can come and pick it themselves.   The poor and needy continue to be the poor and needy when you just give them stuff.

Well, I figured since I'm the one that tills it, plants it, waters it, weeds it, picks it, cooks it, cans it, then tills it up again....I better get to pick'in potatoes, otherwise it won't get done.

Glenn I was thinking the poor and needy was you.   Poor Glenn,  his gardening skills are only out matched by his fishing skills.   Needy Glenn,  my garden didn't grow.   Can I come over.   But I knew how you would respond.  ;)

Dang leave those bad boys in the ground.   If you're so much in a rush I'll have some in a month to come and dig.  :happy1:

Umm NO.  I meant if HD is in such a hurry he can come dig mine too.  I sure wouldn't have a union guy do it unless I was looking for someone to lean on a shovel.

Neighbors been feeding the deer all summer.  They have pretty much took over my gardens.  Potatoes are still in the ground, that is the ones the deer haven't dug up.  Still get to have some ground cheery as the deer haven't discovered they are under the plants.

I'm going to be digging the potatoes soon and then it will be time to till.  Everything else has been mowed over and ready to go.

What does the rows have to do with it?   Some of us know how to do more with something with a handle on it than lean.   However I did contemplate buying a loader for my tractor after this year

I planted reds and yellow taters this year. I dug everything up tonight. I did not find one yellow in the whole crop. Not sure what happened, but I'm glad I grew 2 different kinds.

I finished up digging tonight.  Dug a total of 75 gallons of taters.  Time to put the tiller on the tractor and call it a year.
