On Sunday night we had our first beans and potatoes, a 4th of July tomato, and a few Sweet Baby Girl cherry tomatoes thrown in for good measure. The beans are Kentucky Blue, and I think the potatoes are Rose Finn Apple (the row marker was hidden under straw, and I was too lazy to look at the master plan).
The potatoes were sweet and creamy - no need for butter. The tomatoes burst with sweetness. But the beans . . . ahhh, the beans. Every year I marvel at how absolutely delicious garden beans are - the food of the gods.
Beautiful harvest! This was the first year I grew my own potatoes and I was amazed at how buttery good they tasted -- so much better than the store-bought kind. Those green beans look fabulous!

Thanks for visiting my blog! Homegrown potatoes are something else, aren't they? I grew them last year, but just "ordinary" varieties that you would buy in the store. This year I went all-out with heirlooms from Seed Savers, and they're great.
