Serendipity

Our yard is very small but we decided when we moved in that we didn't want any lawn at all so most of what we have is planted with either decorative plants or productive plants with numerous trees. A couple of years ago I found some fingerling potatoes in my pantry that were just sprouting so rather than throw them away I planted them against our south fence. Most years I simply ignore them but this spring I marked where the plant shoots were so that I could find them come harvest time. Today I dug out a whole bucket of potatoes. I even left some in the ground for next year but I still ended up with a huge pile of potatoes.
