| Our 2013, 50 Lb. Potato Harvest |
In 2013 we planted seven pounds of potatoes and
harvested 50. We were very proud and we naively believed that they would last us well into winter. Boy were we ever wrong.
We went through those yummy spuds in just a month and a half and we ended up having to purchase another 100 pounds of organic potatoes from our Mennonite friends.
The tubers we purchased were good enough and we are still eating them. However, they did not compare to the ones grown in our own backyard.
This year we will be planting 20 pounds of seed potatoes in hopes of harvesting between 150-200 pounds of yummy spuds. To that end, we have purchased 10 pounds of Kennebec potatoes, five pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes, and 5 pounds of Red Pontiac potatoes.
