Hello Friends!
I am a big fan of potatoes and turnips mixed together in a mash or side by side with a protein. I planted both for a dish called Neeps and Tatties.
If you recall earlier in the year around April, I made a big to do about planting potatoes. I did my research and went to work. I also planted turnips in March prior to the tatties. You can see the results of the neeps,
But there are no tatties to show.
Disappointed I was. If I were an Irishman back in the day, I would have taken my family on a boat to the United States and taken my chances over starving.
Wait. I think that is how part of my family got here. I should have known better.
Scratch that. I will try again. All neeps and no tatties is ok. The rest of the garden went well. For instance, I had good results with my tomatoes.
Due to hearing about the potential deadliness of the plant, we kept a guard on duty. (Source for my concern here)
Petra, the Erratic Engineeress host of the Erratic Hat Podcast and story character wanted to know how my wheat was coming along. Here you go, friend!
Oh, and I got a few raspberries as well. I will be planting many more!
This is probably the end of the garden season for me. I did make sauerkraut with my cabbage.
Now this sauerkraut is not for the timid. It is the real deal, probiotics and all. The smell alone caused darkness in the sky when I made it.
Well, anyways, I am on my Body By Bologna Workout Program. Here is my weigh in. I am pacing my exercise to make this consistent and sustainable.
Here is today’s workout.
25 Squats
25 Lunges
25 Pushups
And my run. Well, almost jog.
I am wearing Altra Lone Peak Shoes if anyone is interested.
Well, that is all for today friends! Have a blessed, beautiful day!

Well, this started out so well, but then I remembered Herman Farbage. You know he was just taking out his garbage when the killer tomatoes attacked him.
I had all the safety measures in play thay I could. They are potentially the scariest crop I have.
😂
Between you and dad I’m not sure whether to be appalled at the wordage puns and ridiculousness or just cry and pray for ear plugs 😂. I love y’all. It was definitely beautiful today…..
Thanks for stopping by!
Alternatively, you can land in Toronto. I just published today a picture of Irish people landing in Toronto after the Great Famine.
I am heading there now!
Loved your post and your guard on duty, lol. The beets look so good and as for the tatties…well better luck next year.
The cabbage situation … now that is potent!!
Congrats on the weight loss and keep having fun and sharing with us.
Thanks for stopping by, Fifted Fifty! Sauerkraut is not for everyone. The weight loss is a hard one for me. Prior to Covid I was powerlifting and eating a lot. When all that shut down, I kept gaining without the lifting. I appreciate your encouragement!
You just need some (veggie) haggis with those neeps and tatties and you’ve got yourself a hearty (and healthy) meal!!! 😁🏴🖤
Ha ha! I suppose you are right!
I love mashed turnips with butter, I should try this potato turnip thing.
Let me know how it goes! Nice to hear from Petra, the spokesman for Erratic Hat!
Haha thanks! The whole podcast thing has been pushed a bit further ahead to the future, because I’m dealing with some health stuff.
Priorities are of the essence. Get well and we will hear from you when the time comes!🤠🔥
