Yours are beautiful,I don't have that many.<br />Kennebec is a potato variety that is white with a very thin peeling that can be eaten. They are my favorite kind of potato,quite different from the russet potatoes that you buy in the grocery stores. In the fall you can find kennebecs and I don't know if that is the correct spelling or not but anyway you can them for sale at roadside stands or farmers markets. And you are right about the kohlrabi it is a bulb vegetable that grows underground and taste a lot like raw cabbage, very good for you, loaded with vitamins.<br />And that is your country gardening lesson for the day,hahaha.<br />Blessings to you always,<br />Marilyncarolina nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17300773317928721703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-6387345610734504512011-03-22T21:17:55.231-05:002011-03-22T21:17:55.231-05:00Springtime in your yard is a thing of beauty.
