Potatoes Are Calm, For Now


A new but enthusiatic reader asked about the potatoes. I posted a picture of them above. As some of you may recall, after the sweet potato vine began to strangle the pineapple plant, I thought I would teach it a lesson by making it pick on something(s) its own size.

Many of you of course expected a Highlander-type duel to ensue between the various potatoes. Although I applaud you all for your interest in this critically acclaimed and popular genre of fiction, I am sorry to report that, as you can see, although it is getting a little crowded down there, all the potatoes are behaving themselves.

But, winter is coming. They'll find out who their friends are soon enough, I think.

  1. This blog must be rubbing off on me. I had a dream last night that I gave you an Asparagus crown to plant - weird.

    Phil, you would write excellent voice-over copy for documentaries.

    Thank you for your tribute and fealty. I would prefer to be the Pineapple King though.
