The harvest is in.

Honestly it was in a couple of weeks ago. The potatoes are particularly fine this year.

That's a little over 2 bushels of Red McClure and much to my surprise some PurplePeruvian.


They're in the cellar in baskets with some burlap over them. 
They'll stay nice and cool through the winter and by Spring I'll have lots of sprouting starters.


I sort them by size. Not only is this a good thing for cooking but the smaller ones get soft first so you want to eat those first.




The big ones are great in soup… I'll post that recipe later. I just substitute the potatoes for beans in a minestrone.
