It's been a few months since I planted some Potatoes with eyes forming. I got a calendar reminder that they were ready for harvest. Lovely Logic and I went outside and harvested the plants. They were staying to yellow so it was about time for them to be pulled up.
I planted these spuds around March when the last of the frosts were just about done. It takes a few months for them to grow. The first few weeks it looks like nothing is happening. And then a plant emerges from the ground.
Sunlight has a big effect on them. The ones in the area with more sunlight gave me bigger Potatoes. About twice the size of the ones in part shade.
My beds ripped up after I pulled the Red Potato plants. The mulch seemed to work pretty well and happy with the results. I found mycelium growing in the woodchip beds which is good for the ecosystem.
Part of my soiless growing methods I have tried hay and now wood mulch. Both worked great. Looking forward to seeing how the Sweet Potatoes perform in the mulch. I'll know by the fall.
