We dug up a fairly reasonable 10 lbs. of potatoes, still intact after several hard freezes. While not a spectacular harvest, it was decent enough considering our clay soil, high moisture levels, and planting just a handful of potatoes (~3 lbs. worth?), it’s still heartening to know that potatoes truly can survive unharvested through a bit of winter. We cooked some up last weekend and even fed them to my office, but no ill effects or flavors reported (phew! ).
The next round of potatoes (and indeed the whole garden) will be grown in planters, as we’re expecting to move to our permanent homestead sometime during the growing season. One more new adventure in gardening...
