Potatoes can be pretty low-key during the summer, not requiring much work other than weeding, and if you put straw or newspaper strips around them, it will allow you more time at the cabin. It's fun digging them up in late summer/fall. Make sure you have some of your littles there to help. They usually love the experience.

It looks like you were mostly out of the range of the heavy weather this weekend. We were for the first time in 5 weekends, but we are having a thunderstorm right now. I hope it doesn't turn violent. I am skittish after the last 5 weeks.
