The good earth

It was sunny yesterday, so I got outside and messed around in the garden and yard.  "Putting the garden to bed," as they say...pulling out all the dead plants, rolling up the fence, hauling stuff to the compost pile, turning the soil, chucking old green tomatoes and frost-killed squash at tree trunks for the thrill of the smash.  I also dug my potatoes.  The summer was so busy that I didn't plant the seed potatoes that my housemates left for me when they moved out until (shameful confession) sometime in July.  So this is what I got.
