Pissing in the Rain

[Oedipussy Rex]

So. Back in January or February while picking up stuff at the garden center/hardware big box, on a whim I pick up a bag of four red seed potatoes for either three or five dollars. Can't remember which but I'm leaning toward five. Potatoes planted in late March or April, hilled in mid-May, and almost completely dead today. *sigh* You watch gardening videos on the youtubes and see all those big, bushy potato plants, then look out the back window, see these sparse stems sticking up, and watch them shrivel up and turn brown. So I pull them up and find that they actually did produce some nice looking potatoes. Five pounds.

I paid three to five dollars to get three to five dollars worth of potatoes on sale.
