Potatoes - in February!





I'm so excited. I decided to work outside a bit today and was turning over a bed when, OMG, there were potatoes. Yes, I had planted them back in August and then ignored them thru the winter. Well, I guess they were growing all mild winter. The ground apparently didn't freeze. YUM!
