It's our best vegetable harvest ever this year.

One potato, two potato

The 2014 harvest is well underway. Master Gardeners had planted a large section of the community garden in potatoes last spring and started harvesting last month on Thursdays. Then, last week they decided to dig up the rest, producing a 109-pound bounty to be donated to local food pantries.

Betsy found a potato shaped just like a duckling, complete with little wing and an eye.

The grandson of one master gardener found an arrowhead in the potato patch.

In all, the community garden produced 260 pounds of vegetables for donation that one day.
