One potato, two potato...

etc..

We grew potatoes in a dustbin in our front yard this year:

There's something primevally satisfying about searching amongst the dirt for those little pale gold nuggets, isn't there?














Lyddie's not usually one for grubbing in the mud, but she absolutely loved it.
