Adorable Little Russet Potato

So cute!
I've never grown potatoes before but I thought I'd give it a shot.  This guy was sticking out of the ground a little so I went ahead and pulled him up.  He had a brother who was no bigger than my pinky finger tip so I buried him again to hopefully keep growing.

So far my garden hasn't grown a lot of food but I'm tickled pink to get this guy.  Who knows how much more is growing under the dirt.  Only time will tell and the plants aren't entirely died back yet so there's a chance for more potatoes in my future.

So far the other plants that have grown well and were usable are:
Bell Peppers (several small ones, way better than last year)
Green Onions (they've kept going and are now almost double in number)
Basil (still growing and have used in several dishes that needed it)
Kabucha Squash (although no fruit, we've made squash blossom quesadillas)

Still waiting to see if the carrots or corn plants will be at all productive.  There are currently 2 cobs developing still but very small and the carrots are visible but barely a root.
