spuds and seeds

the top photo is of today's haul of spuds out of the pgp...after i got home i cleaned them up and found i had just a shade more than another pound-and-a-half of potatoes ( these are yukon golds )..lots of potatoes are finishing up..but not the seemingly misnamed early blue...they are still flowering ( both here and in the community garden )...they are easily pursuing as long a season as the did in the basement ( and will again in a few months i am assuming )...they will finish when they are ready...the bottom photo is some asparagus seed that is cooked completely and ready to plant...each "berry" has three to five seeds ( as i discovered when i germinated and grew them in the basement during the winter of 2012-2013...the all died when i tried to transplant them ) and should be directly seeded this autumn to overwinter and hatch out next spring...some of these ( if not all..there are many more cooking ) are going to find there way west to our community garden's friend ( and, by extension, a friend of the pgp )fern...she had a look in on the pgp while she was visiting friday and i offered to send her some...they will be going soon.
