Eating bull thistle...

PictureOrganic new potatoes in bags ready for harvest.
To be fair to the people eating this hateful weed, I tried a younger specimen.  My opinion at this point is kill em' all... every horrible, bullish one of them. They are BAD, BAD weeds. 

OK, on to happier plants.  I did harvest the bags o' taters yesterday (such an easy way to grow potatoes and root veggies!).  Homefries coming up at the Smith house this weekend!
1 pound potatoes cut into 1 inch cubes
1 acorn/delicata/or butternut squash peeled & cut 1 inch cubes
1 hot pepper diced
1 sweet or bell pepper diced
1 sweet onion chopped, 2-3 tablespoons fresh butter, salt pepper to taste.  Parboil potatoes & squash until they begin to soften a bit.  Saute onions and peppers in butter in skillet on stove.  Add potatoes and squash and continue to saute until all are done.  Serve hot!  Great served with salsa and sour cream. 

HAPPY FATHERS' DAY WEEKEND TO YOU ALL!

SOUNDS GREAT. Wish we could be there, but we need to work on the bathroom now that V.B.S. is over. Wish Greg a happy Fathers Day for us. Love you all, Mom

The potato in the top right corner looks like a person saying "Oh"! Aidyn agrees
