Potato Blight Hits Eliot


John and I spent the weekend digging up the Early Rose and Katahdin potatoes down at the cabin garden. Late blight has struck, so we salvaged most of the crop and have begun a spraying regimen to save the Kennebecs and tomatoes. I pulled the Early Rose at the house as well, although they seemed to have suffered more from wireworm damage and maybe too much moisture in that location. The cabin garden yielded some very interesting potatoes--a family of Mr. Potato Heads. One even reminded me of Wallace from "Wallace & Gromit".

  1. Yeah, that does look like Wallace's head - with the big ears!
    I like the house color too! It looks really nice (better than the "band-aid brown".
