"The man who has nothing to boast of but his ancestors is like a potato - the only good belonging to him is under ground."

– Sir Thomas Overbury (1581 - 1613)

A fruit of the dirt, its growing popularity in the old world has reached the shores of the colonies and with it, the knowledge of its cultivation! Although many find it bland alone, the potato makes for a filling meal.
