Yesterday we, and by "we" I mean Cindy and her sister Mary, harvested more potatoes, this time from the second grow bag. Cindy planted these German Butterball yellow potato plants last January, then pretty much wrote them off later in the season when the plants seemed to die back and some basil plants took hold in the bags. So she was very surprised last week when she went to clean out the bags to discover that there were indeed potatoes in there.
We got over two pounds of potatoes out of the first bag, and about four and a half pounds out of this one. Considering how much I love potatoes, that should last for about a week. We had some for dinner last night and they were delicious.
Some of them will probably go back into the bags as seed potatoes for the next crop.
