First potatoes

I'm not a terrific vegetable farmer and my official vegetable garden is pretty small.   Since the space is small, I grow multiple crops in the same spot.   With spring arriving later this year and summer getting under way right on time, my spring garden has been rushed. 

This past week, I was forced to dig up one third of my potato patch to make room for my tomato plants.  I knew they would be small, but every fresh potato from the garden is a good one, regardless of size.

I boiled the tiniest of the crop--less than an inch in diameter--and served them with nutmeg/lemon butter.  They just melted in our mouths.

Today, I used the "big" ones to make a tender potato salad for our church's potluck lunch.  I used rose buds/parsley as a garnish.  It was just as pretty as it was delicious. 

The rest of the potatoes will need to come up soon because the summer peas will want to be planted soon.
