Today we spent the day at the garden planting potatoes! The kids took a lot of rocks out of the tilled up garden. It wasn't their favorite part of the day, but they all did a great job.
The kids worked really well together and put all the potatoes in the ground. Poor Noah was on a scout camp out the night before and I picked him up around noon. He was pretty tired and I think he was looking forward to a hot shower and a relaxing afternoon and evening at home. But he worked hard and didn't complain to much.
This girl got soooo dirty! All the kids did, but I think she takes the prize for the dirtiest!
I love when Jane just wants her daddy. Today she kept reaching for him when she woke up from her nap. But Kendall needed to work so she tagged along and was as happy as can be!
After a much needed bath I found Jacob on the couch sound asleep! He worked hard today. We started the day with a piece of land that hadn't been worked in many years. By the end of the day we had tilled the potato garden plot up, tilled up another field for other veggies, and planted 184 potatoes! So glad those potatoes are in the ground and look forward to eating them all next year!

So cool! What kind of potatoes do you use? Are they seed potatoes? I've been wanting to plant potatoes but am not really sure how to start.

we plant seed potatoes. Every harvest we save the smaller potatoes and plant them the following year. You can buy seed potatoes as well store bought potatoes are sometimes treated so that they do not sprout. We plant "Yukon gold" "yellow fin" "Russet" and "Hepworth Red" which is a early season red potato we have been replanting for three years and we don't remember what it was.
your such a good daddy Kendall, You garden soil looks very rich and amazing
