@therealmaryjblige is the meanest part of this American Gothic 😂 Chiamaka and Rocky with their Lumper Potato harvest. It was their first time lifting potatoes! This was the potato of the Great Hunger in Ireland, one that I grow to remember my great grandmother Mary Lenihan and her potato farming family in Galway. Of course, potatoes originate in the Andes where they were first domesticated and where their diversity is still the greatest. They made their way to Ireland as a field crop in the seventeenth century and became a staple in the eighteenth. #seedkeeping #lumperpotato (at Glen Mills, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgYESJQuTUX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
