Digging up potatoes

It's time to dig up the Yukon Gold potatoes, I grow these each year because I just LOVE these!
there we go, look at those beauties, sitting to dry off and heading to the basement
there was the spot we had the 2 rows of potatoes, snuggled between the asparagus and onions
pretty nice haul, need to get them into basement before it decides to rain, wouldn't want them all to rot on us
 we didn't have enough room in the other garden so we had to improvise, we decided to plant the raised bed under the sweetgum tree over by the firepit
 old  metal bed frame makes a nice spot for the cukes
this I call the neighbor garden, here we have rattlesnake pole beans growing up the back sunflowers, some more peppers and zucchini, I left bags in the shed for the neighbors to stop and pick their own when they wanted anything from this little garden
