Potato Harvest



I have been growing potatoes in bags. As we have house guests this weekend I decided to rip open one of the bags to see what we've got. It was exciting to see the tubers emerge. Since the potatoes were grown in compost they came out lovely and clean. There were a little over three pounds of potatoes. Not bad but I think that it would have been better to leave another couple of weeks or so as some of the tubers were very small.

You can buy new potatoes for less that it has cost me to grow these so it wasn't a success as a way of saving pennies. However you may be able to buy potatoes but you can't buy these potatoes!
