Kirby's mutant potatoes


This spring Kirby planted two varieties of potatoes next to each other in our garden and probably due to the strange warm then cold then warm again weather that we had this year, the plants flowered twice and we were surprised with a bunch of lovely red russet potatoes. The skin is red and thin like a red potato but had the large shape of the russet. We bake some and made others into french fries. Our favorite was the one we baked. The flavor was that of the russet but the texture was more like a red. We've saved some of the less mature ones to replant to see what we get next year.

Hey Sis, this is awesome! I am very impressed with your computer skills! I love the pictures and stories. Great way to watch everyone grow up; the girls are beautiful and of course Nathan is handsome! It was great to have access to Shalee's site and see her wedding pictures; she is beautiful. I love the picture of Mike in the back ground watching his daughter dance; wow, that was touching! Well give the kids all hugs and kisses from me. Love ya lots!
