October 15, 2012: Peanuts, carrots, more potatoes

3 peanuts...the entire crop.  Actually I was delighted.  I had assumed there would be none.  I kept looking all summer for the stms I'd learned should grow down from the main stem and enter the ground where peanuts would grow from them.  I was looking high on the plant.  These little side stems were only about an inch from the ground, so I'd never noticed them.   Next year: more peanuts!

Carrots!   Not as many as I'd hoped for, although some were nice and long.   (Note from Feb 2013, since that is when I'm actually writing this:  Carrots did not keep well this year.   Perhaps too wet when packed in bags in fridge.???)

More potatoes---drying on racks in my powder room in the dark.
I know I shouldn't scrub them clean before storage, but don't like to have the dirt in my kitchen.

All dry, and stored in crock for winter!  Will cover to keep light from sunscalding them.
