Potatoes

This Saturday Dr. H and I dug up all of the potatoes in our little potato patch. All 50 pounds of them!
One of three 10 gallon buckets full

This is a smaller potato
I can't believe they grew so well! All but about 5 pounds are currently curing in my basement. The rest are being eaten while their skins are still tender. Yum!

  1. How long did it take for the potatoes to be ready for harvest?

  2. I planted them in mid-May and just waited until the plants started turning yellow and wilting. I guess it took about 3 1/2 months.
