The three peaks of the Pawtuckaway mountains to the west of us are viewed here from the Garrison Hill tower. Well, the middle one is obscured by the tree. Still, they’re prominent points in southeastern New Hampshire, midway between the Seacoast region and the Merrimack River, with good views of Boston from the forest fire lookout tower atop the 908-foot South Mountain (left).

You have no idea how much visual pleasure this gives me. As well as a feeling of accomplishment, considering how much work was involved in getting this bed to take hold.

What do you do with a spoiling potato?

Plant it, of course, and hope it starts coming up in a big pot looking something like this. We’ll keep adding dirt as it rises, hoping to increase our harvest.
