"What's taters, Precious?"

My mind has been infiltrated by, among other things, The Lord Of The Rings movies. There is a scene in one of the movies in which Gollum has killed and brought back for supper two little critters (clearly rabbits, but I think there was another name for them in the movie) which lead to a conversation between Gollum and Sam. Sam mentions something about wishing he had some 'taters to cook up with his rabbit-critters. Thus, Gollum's question to that is the title of the post.

Mrs requested that I dig a few red potatoes (I have yet to harvest all of any of the three varieties I planted), so I did just that.



In the process I managed to disturb a nest of particularly ferocious little ants that inflicted painful little bites that felt very much like wasp stings, only less severe. Fun!

That sounds like fire ants. Surely you don't have them up that far yet. We are watching them march north with dread here.
