This morning I had to wait for it to get light enough out to go and dig another row. I found red pontiacs and irish cobblers. Later I'll be making red, white, and blue(cheese) potato salad....and apparently, potatoes for every meal for the next year.
I thought I had just two more rows of potatoes... but I realized it's more like 5. That's a lot of spuds. I'd better get moving. (Good thing I have Pam's potato book!)
Happy Monday everyone! Did you have a slowly breaking dawn over your bucket of spuds?

Lucky, it's hard for us to grow potatoes. The bugs just EAT. THEM. UP>
how many pounds of seed taters did you put in?
we are lousy with taters, SFG, i just cant believe it!
hey Dave! gosh.. um.. i'm gonna say 75lbs of them. i had no idea it would work so well. ha! the big thing was that i found a 50 lbs bag for just $17 on sale. so i got them. they all worked and as i'm typing this i'm remembering where i put another two rows....
Oh well done. Our potatoes did not do very well because of the weeks and weeks of rain that we had early on in the season. But we do have one more row to dig up, so hope that we shall at least get some good sized spuds. Trouble is that the ground is too hard at the moment so we can't get at them!
thanks Vera! sounds like you'll need some kind of jackhammer to get them out. hope they are fabulous!
