Z Marks the Spot

No, I know what I mean.
In my X post, I determined that the majority of X words sounds like they should start with Z.

Following this logic Z, and not X, marks the spot.
And the Z is where is all comes to a conclusion.

I got to the half-way point and thought the alphabet was so long.
But, I went on and I could see the Z was in my sights,

Now, I have reached
the pinnacle
the end
the climax.

Now, it is time to pat myself on the back and congratulate everyone else for reaching Z.

And in celebration, I am going to go plant my potatoes
Awesomely, at

    Thanks for sharing with us Ruth. It has been a pleasure.
    I'd like to hear more about potatoes, as I thought I would try and grow some this year. I have never attempted them before.

      Jeff, potatoes are easy. Get some seed potatoes(or potatoes that have not been sprayed with stuff) and cut them up.You need to have 2 or 3 eyes per piece. Spread them out to dry for a few days and then plant. Not too deep-only about an inch or so. Just deep enough to cover the potato. They take about a month to come up. When they flower, you should have baby spuds. When the plants die, the potatoes are done.

      That's too easy! Don't I need to buy a special tractor or garden tool? LOL

      Jeff, you could. I have a friend that grows potatoes to sell and her husband has a thing to dig them up. My dad planted so many when we were kids that he'd overturn the hills with the plow on the back of his garden tractor. I just dig them up with a potato fork. Sometimes the potatoes grow right under the hill and sometimes they spread, but never go too deep, unlike the sweet potato.

    I like potato skins. With cheese, bacon, scallions, and ranch on the side. Yum.

    Hey Lady B - you done it! Another A to Z bites the dust and it's back to some semblance of normal. (Al excluded - normal isn't in his vocab - just wild and crazy, like his captions!)

    I'm a fan of Mr Potato (not the toy, the real spud, almost wrote stud - hahaha). Lately I've been into Yams - I love them tossed in oil with some salt and pepper and roasted - yum!

    How long do spuds take before one can chow down on them? Just wondering - won't be planting any, but just in case I'm ever asked! LOL

    Thanks for the great ride… you done good! Cheers, your posse pal… Jenny (aka Cool J) haha

      Thanks, Jenny.
      I love sweet potatoes too. I grew them just to make fries.
      They take a few months, depending on variety and whether you want full size or the little new ones.

    And here I'm just intrigued by the potatoes (and your comments to Mr. Bushman). I always figured potatoes would be more difficult to grow. As a gardening nut myself, I may have to try that this year.
