A lot of potatoes!


The potato containers are growing at a fast pace.  It seems we are filling them every week.

And that takes quite a bit of time considering the number of potato barrels we have.


The white barrels are just about full!  We expect to be harvesting them in a couple of months.  We dumped the original barrel already.  It had been planted with left over store bought potatoes and because of chemical they are treated with they did not do well.  Lots of green, but just a handful of potatoes.   All of our other taters are planted with real seed potatoes, so we expect better.  The ones in the field we have been harvesting, red and white potatoes, and we have been pulling in quite a lot per plant.
