Potatoes with bacon

Still often cooking dinner by myself. Home grown potatoes were fried with bacon. Seasoned with consome and a bit of salt. Simple and delicious.

I was intending to consume potatoes harvested this fall. Boxes of them are in the shedding. 

This year it has been too warm in the beginning of fall. Planted in September as usual, potatoes have grown slowly if not. I was worrying they could be decayed in the ground with the high grouond temperature. Most of them, however, have caught up and have cropped quite good number of fruits. Of course, it was a symptom of global warming, I am afraid. Actually, in the internet, some professional farmers especially in the western area, hotter than here, have complained of that. Generally, it is possible for farmers to do with cold weather but not easy to manage the heat wave. They say they would plant potatoes in the next fall season a couple of weeks later than this year. It is a gamble. Winter often comes in at the same time as usual even if summer lasts longer. Then potatoes would not mature enough then.

Again, I am feeling blessed with farming and with good health enough to do that. I may plant the potatoes harvested this fall in March next year. They may bear a lot of fruits. I would give them to friends and/or family members next year. It will be a kind of sharing a gift from the nature with them.
