    Oh man- it's subtle but spuds fresh out of the ground are awesome.

    Hey- maybe I can turn this thing into a gardening thread.

    Really getting off topic but hey, why not. When I was a kid we rented a cottage in Port Elgin Ontario that backed on to a farm. The field behind us was a potato field and the farmer had harvested the crop mechanically which left lot's of small potatoes behind. We went out and picked a few dozen and yes, much better fresh out of the ground.

    Allrightythen! My BIL lives on 26 acres right next to a corn farmer in Ohio. Every year, as soon as they have harvested the field they let my BIL know to come in and help themselves to the edges which for them is an endless supply of fresh corn for weeks. Heaven. Growing potatoes in large pots or fabric bags is the latest thing. I have high hopes for this year.
