The days started out with Sam telling Bruce that he really did want ot go to our house because gardening was boring. So we gave the gloves and clippers and headed to the potato bed.
They worked really hard cutting the stems or haulms off.
Mia worked on one end of the bed while Sam worked on the other.
We filled Pappy's blue wheelbarrow full to overflowing.
The contest... finds the biggest, the smallest, and a heart-shaped potato.
Sam found a pretty big one!
Mia pulled out a whopper.
That is the pile I gathered from my side of the bed.
Clean-up consisted of dumping the wheelbarrow into the compost bin.
Putting the tools back where we found them.
Pulling my little wheelbarrow to Pappy for a pic.
They look like pretty happy farmers.

washing and sorting
We called that one the heart-shaped, but Sam called it the butt crack.
Look at the face; of course he did!
Still washing and sorting.
After all that garden work, I asked them if they could make me a sign for the new garden we planted in the way back. They were all over it!
The sign reads Hillybilly Hideaway Garden.
A little snack and a game.
We dug 40 pounds of potatoes from that bed. And we will be planting more!
BTH...Sam left saying that gardening was fun today.
