First Potato Harvest 2011

When I watered the garden earlier today I found some Yukon Gold potatoes that could be harvested and cooked.  Talk about fresh - I washed them off and immediately cooked them!  Absolutely delicious!  After I boiled them I added a little butter, sea salt, and freshly ground pepper.  I guess Greek cooking would have used olive oil instead of butter, but I stuck with butter for this freshly picked harvest.
These potatoes are actually the first of anything that I have harvested from my garden this year.  I planted both Yukon Gold and Adirondack Blue.  I'll be sure to post a picture of the Adirondack Blue potatoes when they are ready.



Hopefully the blueberries will be ready in a week or two.  Usually we can start picking them late in June.  I anticipate more potatoes over the next few weeks.  The hot, dry weather seems to have delayed my green beans, tomatoes, and cucumbers.  I just hope the plants can survive the weather long enough to produce something.
