We finally harvested the potatoes this week. We let the plants die back and waited two weeks before digging them up. It was a family affair, I dug them up while the kids picked them up from the ground and put them in a bucket, once the bucket was full my wife dumped the potatoes into a pile. The next day we put them in the root cellar, that I made last year. I don't know how many pounds we have but they filled up the five gallon bucket nine times.
That is wonderful! How many did you plant to get this many to harvest? We did not get potatoes in this year, but are definitely planning on it for next year!
ReplyDeleteWe probally planted about 20-30 potatoes cut into pieces.
