Those will probably be the best potatoes you’ve ever grown! :)

If they aren't the best they'll surely be the easiest.

The smaller heap to the left of the pic with the little tufts of green coming out - that's the soil from the corner of my garden where the winter onions lived. I didn't want to be fighting onions in my raised beds for the rest of my life so I put that dirt in a separate pile from the rest. I think that I'm going to leave it where it's at for now and see how they like it there. I can always move some to a dedicated raised bed later on if I don't like how they're doing.

@Pete - That's a small heap of horse manure that came out of the barn earlier in the winter. It burned down nicely I think. Spuds ought to be decent there if we get rain when they need it.

I took a few minutes to wet a line in the pond after I was done choring yesterday. Pulled two more welfare eaters out and put them to the knife. They'll be joining us for taco night this week. For scale, the cutting board is 24" wide.
