The potatoes were planted Feb 22 and not up yet. Last year we grew (don't laugh; ok, you can giggle) 11' of Red Pontiac and 11' of Yukon Gold and they made enough that we were able eat fresh and can up 14 pints before they got too old. There's no cellar here for decent storage long term. This year it will be just one 18' row, half Pontiacs and half Yukons. Got the seed potatoes from the local feed 'n' weed store, $1.47 total.
The fall planted potato experiment fell through as all that rain in January flooded where they were planted and they rotted. Will try again this fall in a raised bed and away from possible flooding.
