Harvesting PotatoesHow to Plant Potatoes....
You can begin harvesting potatoes for your dinner table within about eight weeks from time of planting. These early harvested potatoes will be small, tasty "new potatoes." They will appear shortly after your potato plants have bloomed and before the vines die. When the potatoes are 1 to 2 inches in size, dig a few hills to use for soup or to cook with creamed peas or other dishes. |
arvesting potatoes is a simple matter of digging them up. You will want to dig a little bit away from the base of the potato plant to avoid damaging your crop. If your potatoes are producing well, one potato plant or "hill" of potatoes should yield enough tasty tubers for a meal for a family of four or so.
