I know it’s not much, but I had to be in Seattle for medical stuff when it was time to thin them and add dirt to the potatoes. I was so excited to see how well my Yukon golds did. I was not expecting anything. The red potatoes did not do well, next year it will be all Yukon golds. The carrots and onions smelled so nice as I pulled them from the dirt, and finding all those golden nuggets in the dirt was just so cool. I drove down to the cannery just to post the picture. I almost forgot.... what do I need to do to save the small ones for seed potatoes for next year? I know they can’t freeze.....or at least that’s what I think.
Great, all gardeners love good dirt and fresh produce. Unless you know your plant then I suggest you plan on getting seed potatoes.
so beautiful ! i save the ones with the most eyes.... each eye can be planted for more potatoes. small ones are ok but usually better eating... if you have several with alot of 'eyes' save those as you can cut them apart and have more seed potatoes from one potatoe. lovely harvest!
LOL, my first thought was that you had maybe harvested another black bear. I wasn't wide awake yet. just woke from a well deserved LONG nap. Good harvest. Grab a moose roast out of the freezer and whip up a stew. Take care.
I think you rocked it!! In my potato hill, I never put in seed potatoes because I never get all the potatoes out. Mine are russet, though, so perhaps the indeterminate matters.
