New Season Pink Eye Harvest

New season potatoes are very popular this time of year. We planted Pink Eyes in August and the crop is coming on strong now. We've been harvesting for about 2 weeks and have about 2 weeks left.


The bucket of spuds, in back of car, are bound for Source at Sandy Bay. I discovered this place recently and the concept is interesting. They describe themselves in two ways:


1. AN ORGANIC FOOD CO-OPERATIVE:
Providing affordable organic, local, minimally packaged & fair trade goods. The co-op lives in a beautiful straw and earth bale building located on French St. on the campus of the University of Tasmania, in Sandy Bay.

2. A COMMUNITY GARDEN: 
Providing a fun & healthy way for people to spend time together, share valuable skills & grow their own food. The garden includes a wood-fired pizza oven, small apple orchard and composting facility.  

Pinkeyes

Can you call your self Tasmanian if you don't like Pink Eye potatoes? Had the first harvest this week. Dad was very excited, our mainland friends couldn't understand the excitement over potatoes!  

Pink eye cooking suggestion:

Finely chop heaps of parsley and blend with "duck river butter". Steam the pink eye potatoes for 10 minutes. Drain, then smother with the parsley butter blend.
