I wish you much success. They were really easy.<br /><br />Rainforest Gardener...They were delicious! The green plants were pretty and will look nice in the midst of winter...at least they'll be green. :-)<br /><br />Kay...It was fun and I'll bet your grandchildren will have lots of fun digging for them. Good luck!<br /><br />FloridaGirl...I totally believe you and can see how that would happen. I've had pumpkin vines grow where an old pumpkin rotted away.<br /><br />Ami...Welcome back from China! You're right about starting your planning now. Late August & September are not that far away. I look forward to hearing more about your trip.<br /><br />Chris...It's such a simple & easy way to fix them, but, oh so good. My 2nd favorite way to fix them is boiled, tumbled in butter and sprinkled with parsley and salt. Good luck!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106128705768954876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18126294.post-36795641234620645212010-07-21T11:48:13.494-07:002010-07-21T11:48:13.494-07:00Oh I am so gonna try that this fall.We,too,love th...Oh I am so gonna try that this fall.We,too,love them cooked the same way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08302610545871593886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18126294.post-33113952036858534712010-07-21T08:43:58.322-07:002010-07-21T08:43:58.322-07:00That sounds a fun project I want to try too!

My mom taught me ages ago to take a spade and dig a little hole between plants to put kitchen scraps in as you get them. Lazy man's way of composting. One day, I realized I had a bunch of potatoes with eyes, and asked the kids to go bury them around my sunny border. Before long, I had this very non-weedy-looking weed coming up in several places. Then I realized what it was. When they were ready, I pulled them up, and we had beautiful potatoes. No kidding.
