Who? Me? Dig Potatoes?? Why, I wouldn’t do that.

Back in April, I had a post on here about planting potatoes. I think at the time I said that if I could keep the potato bugs, the japanese beetles and Susie out of the garden, the potatoes would have a chance to grow to maturity. 

Susie has the curiousity of a dozen cats and she can’t bear to just let those potatoes grow underground without checking to see how they’re doing. For years, I’ve cautioned her against digging them up before they’re ready but to no avail. This year, she swore on her mother’s grave that she would leave them alone until September. Yesterday, I came outside and here’s what I saw.
