man down!

I did not solve the moisture problem in the potato buckets fast enough to save the inhabitants :(

We managed to get a tiny handful of baby sized red potatoes from the first bucket before it died completely.  Matthew and I enjoyed them with our hamburgers for dinner last night :).

The white potatoes in the other bucket (below) haven't died as quickly because I got them dried out a little faster, but still not fast enough to save them.  As they wilt and die, I hope we'll get some young potatoes anyway.

Next year, I know what to do... keep the potatoes dry!!!
