Good thinking Beth! Throw it out on the internet that you took a hit so the IRS wouldn’t attach a tax on your organic spuds.
You’re bound to have some escapees in a bag hidden away in some obscure and forgotten place that was left over from Thanksgiving.
USPS just delivered. I ordered a lot of stuff from different purveyors and when the kind lady handed me one single large envelope, I almost smiled knowing that there was something missing. I even asked her if that was all and she said yes so I knew that something wasn’t going to get done today for surely everything I ordered couldn’t possibly come in one 13x15 envelope. Long story short, I guess I’ll get busy fixing the lawnmower and the dryer. Good thing it’s going to take a minute to decide which chore will be first. Oh yeah, unwrapping everything will take a couple of minutes to do too. Might have to get a cup of coffee first. Go to the bathroom. Comb my hair. Darned snag on a fingernail could be dangerous, best trim it. Still a little chilly…
That is how I am getting my seed potatoes this year. Last year my daughter BOUGHT seed potatoes and I lost it because I had potatoes literally climbing the walls in the basement.
I needed a new one. I spend too much time sharpening the one I have. Hopefully, this one will hold an edge longer.
I ordered some bottles for kombucha that should have a really good seal. My kombucha tastes delicious to me (Mr. Bobby makes a face with even a teaspoon full to try) but I am not getting any carbonation fizzy. It might be because of the cold weather; but going to try out the new jars and see if that helps.
You ever look into Estwing hatchets and axes? They’re a little spendy but the balance is superb and they do indeed keep a good edge unless of course one hits a rock or nail as I am sometimes known to do.
I'm not familiar with the brand. I had considered a Gransfors Bruk but my wife would use it on me if I spent $200 on a hatchet.
I don't have a basement; just a sad little potato storage can in the pantry. Things can get a little wooly in there, though.
My crawl space would probably work well for storing potatoes if I cleaned an area out for them. Someone, probably in the 1940s, stored home-canned items down there and, while I am not about to eat any of it, it still looks like food.
They’re not that spendy. Maybe you might remember the brand if you have seen a hammer with leather rings for the handle. Those are still available for the esthetic craftsman but the rubber grips have pretty much taken over. Anyway, they’re built all in one piece with no place to break and highly improbable that a person could bend what one would consider to be the tang. Okay, thanks for the ability to procrastinate a bit longer. Gotta get back to overhauling the lawnmower.
Aldi potatoes usually have eyes that grow. Many growers spray a chemical on them to keep them from growing. Yay, more chemicals.
