Planted 5 potatoes cut in half and got like 30 potatoes back. Was afraid they rotted in may when we got like 15inches of rain in one week. But they seem to have turned out fine. Also got our last 5 onions.

Also picked about 10lbs of tomatoes.

Didnt have time to pick peppers and green beans yet. Probably do that today.

I wish! Living on mars slowly starving to death sounds better than living in Ohio.

Grocery stores hate this one weird trick.

You're lucky you don't have to contend with ground critters!

Also, is that green bean plant just from this season??? That's impressive.

It's two plants on a trellis, but yeah I planted it this spring.

My god... the groundhog are a fuckin menace this year. I've politely asked two to fuck off already, and a third has apparently moved in and wrecked up the place.

I'm going to do potatoes next season. I really want to try both in the ground and in barrels to see how well I can do.

Also I have all the cheat codes, my friend has a potato farm. I'm small time (or should I say small potatoes, pun) compared to him and my other friends.

EDIT:

Nice haul, should have said that first!
