Australian Crescent or Ozette Potatoes

All started from a single potato that was left on a raised bed.  Over the years it grew into a nice population that I dug in february or march.  They were laid on the soil surface and covered with a bit of potting soil.  They all sprouted and were then separated and planted in the raised be.  About 40 plants on one foot centers.  This is our first bed dedicated to just potatoes.

The typical plant with little potatoes already forming.

Cleaning out Tex's garage with his sons

 A simple hose bib handle.  Trash to most but something Tex held onto.

And now something I'll hold on to to remember him by.

 A Tex style deadbolt.

Another trinket to remember him by.
