In September we cut down our privacy fence of hops and started digging for spuds. You two love anything your dad does with you, but if it involves hands on help with shovels or scissors then it's even better!
Jacob wanted to take a nap on the tarp in the sun with the hops. Julia insisted on gloves to wear while digging for potatoes. One of them got their way...
The hops were completely dry when we picked them, which made them even messier! Why not bring them inside to pick?
We didn't make a very big dent in the hops. Luckily our friends came and helped out another night. However, I spent the entire night catering to the children. Most of the times I don't like messes, but that night I would have gladly plopped my biscuits down to do a little harvesting.
As for the potatoes...it was another successful treasure hunt. I made a big batch of mashed potatoes and am ready for a batch of soup.
