Sorry for this shitty photos. I'm forced to use my ancient netbook camera until I get something better (a month or so from now probably.)
But, check out this purple majesty potato I dug up today. I was digging using only my hands. When I hit it I thought I'd hit a rock. Most potatoes give a bit in the soil, but this monster was anchored really well. The longer part is was pointing up at a 45 degree angle in the soil. It was like excavating an alien artifact.
