My potato plants have bloomed and are setting seed pods so I grabbed around the base of them to see what I could find. What I found was a slew of new potatos. Can't wait to roast a few with olive oil, rosemary and garlic.
Don't waste the plants by digging them up. Just learn to "grabble" them. Start a little farther out than you expect to find them and, usuing your hands if the soil is soft enough, otherwise loosen it with a trowel feel through the soil till you find the new ones. The plant will make more to replace the ones you grabbled.You might damage a few if you have to use a trowel but they'll still be edible.baymule said:Mine haven't started blooming yet.....but I dug up a couple of plants this evening. The potatoes were small, but sooooooo good!
