New pootatoes
So my Caribes that were sprouting in the basement that I put in about the 20 March are blooming. I can never remember. Isn't it about 2 weeks after blooming that I can have the first new potatoes of the year? I will probably get over excited and kill one or two before they are ready. There is nothing better than the first meal of new potatoes of the year. And after a while potato salad, and fried new potatoes. Oh, I could go on and on.......

After blooming and the blooms have died back i start rooting around with my hands in the dirt for the new potatoes...you shouldn't hurt anything if you don't pick them all or trash the roots too badly. 
Love this time of year, fresh stuff from the garden is the BEST!
