What’s not to like? IMHO, Potatoes are right up there with Chickens as one of God’s most versatile creations. ;)

My Grandma Edith: “Keep a few boiled potatoes on hand; you can ALWAYS make a meal around that!”

So true!

My Grandpa Elmer: “Some days in the Meals on Wheels we get TWO baked potatoes! You set that extra potato aside and fry that up with breakfast the next morning and you are living like a KING!”

I come from simple people, LOL!

Peonies in Albemarle Sound area if North Carolina, zone 8(a) seem to burn up in July despite water every 48 hours.

I have not grown peonies to any great extent but I have some that I would rather not loose as they are starts that my sister gave me that have traveled around the nation for 140 years with my family. I planted them last October in mild weather. Amended our sandy soil and they came up and even bloomed in April. Edge browned in June and seemed to brown off in July. Will they be back next spring? Might they show some regrowth this early fall? I don’t really understand this plant enough to speculate. Store bought peonies in other locations have done the same despite being different varieties.

These peonies did well in east Pennsylvania, east Kansas and Atlanta.

Wonderful! If I were ever stuck on a deserted island I could not do without potatoes. They are my favorite food. The Irish in me. ; )

I ❤️ Potatoes

👀 ❤️ 🥔

Favorite potato dish is German Potato Salad ( bacon, onions, dried dill, salt, sugar, apple cider vinegar and .... potatoes!). Served hot. Old family recipe. Yummy.

Just made some Friday night.
