    Superior Potato Harvest

    http://www.durgan.org/URL/?QEIEN 18 August 2009 Superior Potato Harvest
    Nineteen plants produced about 40 lbs of potatoes. The average weight was 2.15 lbs per plant. One plant produced 3.5 lbs. An excellent crop would be 5 to 8 lbs per plant. The tubers are large and excellent quality.

    Potatoes are stored in a paper bag in my case in the coolest place in the basement. I still have two rows about forty plants of Pontiac (red) to dig. The tops haven't completely died off yet.

    This batch is not being used for the Test Box, I chose Pontiac for the test as to whether potatoes grow all along the stem.
