Great fun.<BR/><BR/>Hans,<BR/>they do not only look good. What's about Ozlem and you dropping by for a tiny potato-party? :)<BR/>Second question: Don't you get potatoes in Istanbul, or why would you mainly eat rice and pasta [both of which I like, too, by the way)?<BR/><BR/>King's Bard,<BR/>welcome, and thanks.<BR/>'Blight' sounds not good. Does it mean your complete harvest got destroyed? Hopefully not.<BR/>Two years ago we had the potato-bug, noticed this slightly late and finally had no good harvest.<BR/>Sometimes I tend to think Nature is possibly a sister of Fortuna.<BR/><BR/>CherryPie,<BR/>glad I could make you smile.<BR/>I had the choice to write about AIDS or Asia, about some organized capital crimes and stupidities etc., or ...<BR/>Finally, and for a change, I chose the 'or'. :)<BR/>As for the shape of potatoes, vegetables and fruits: The crux is that the majority of people would raise their brows on 'discovering' them on the market / in the supermarket - and not buy it.<BR/><BR/>Ardent,<BR/>thank you, also in the name of the cat. :)<BR/>As for your second sentence: Watch out for the vegetable-pics (hopefully soon) to come. :))<BR/><BR/>Doubtful Egg,<BR/>welcome to Omnium. :)<BR/>Well, it would only be natural, wouldn't it? After all, planet Earth rather than a globe is shaped like a potato. :)<BR/>As for what you say about homegrown spuds: Can you see me nodding twice? :)<BR/><BR/>Jams,<BR/>sometimes when looking into my foreman's eyes the suspicion sneaked into my mind Sgt. Pluck was watching me.<BR/>However - and this thought eased my mind -, would a bicycle be able to dig up such a 'wonderful haul of spuds'? :)<BR/><BR/>Nevin,<BR/>the dozing one's my favourite, too. She (the potato) looks pretty masculine, hm? :)Sean Jeatinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978285783271305489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-36009173811638769462008-12-03T00:49:00.000+01:002008-12-03T00:49:00.000+01:00They sure are quite creative potatoes.
