Potato Harvest

We are trying to clean out our garage to make room for our vehicles for winter. G likes to park the cars outside in the spring/summer/fall because of the convenience, and then the garage gets filled up with stuff so they couldn't park inside even if we wanted to. So this is kind of an annual thing. 😂 

We had moved all the potato containers in the garage to keep them from getting rained on before we could harvest. The potatoes were keeping just fine in their little dirt beds, but we needed the garage space. 

G hauled them down to the garden one at a time and Jaron and I dug through the dirt to find the potatoes. 

Sweet potato harvest was a little disappointing after those gigantic ones I pulled off the top: 

Our other potato varieties had decent sized potatoes, but not as many as I hoped. 

And yes, those are small rocks mixed among the potatoes. Last year I was silly and added small rocks to the bottom of the bins to help with drainage (even though I drilled drain holes). I wasn't thinking of them getting mixed in the soil when I dumped them out for harvest. I reused the soil this year, but we'll do new soil next year. I definitely don't want all the little rocks landing in the garden! 

So as Jaron and I harvested, we picked out as many of the little rocks as we could. Definitely didn't get them all!
