I dug also the last 3 plants, Mule Skinner blues gave me 2 pounds of fingerlings, 2225710 gave 1 1/2lb and Lumpers were small about 1lb. I think my soil was not amended well enough

will do better next spring.

But overall I did pretty good, the total amount is 15lbs from the 1lb sampler-14 varieties and 6 of the plants gave me TPS. I am pretty excited! What do you think? Is that amount reasonable? I saved the best potatoes from the crop as "seed" for next year, IF I can stop from doing taste samplings.

I also noticed my SVG seeds are sprouting already. Today I started a tray of the 6 TPS from Tom's Taters along with Mystery from Medbury Garden (Richard). I want to get small tubers for April planting and will start some TPS in April form late May planting.

I am a potato convert and my potato patch is growing out of control
