    Default Yukon Gold Potatoes

    11 September 2010 Yukon Gold Test Box Potatoes 11 September 2010 Yukon Gold Test Box Potatoes

    Yukon Gold Potatoes were harvested. A total weight of 23.5 pounds was harvested from the 4 by 4 foot test area. The objective was to determine what quantity and quality, that could be obtained from a small area.The quality is excellent. Another plant could probably be placed in the center of the area without crowding. The average weight per plant was 5.9 pounds. From my experience anything over 4 pounds is acceptable. It is now 26 January 2011 and the tubers are still in great shape in my cold room.

    That is great. Did you plant just 4 (cut) pieces in the box?

    I ordered some (early and late season) seed potatoes. The fingerlings I bought last year didn't produce a lot--apparently they are fussy growers, we used them up so there were none for storing. Do you have tips on harvesting and storing? I should have a lot this fall.

    Frugal rocks!
