We didn’t intend to plant potatoes this year but we found a box of seed potatoes we had saved from last year’s harvest. Instead of throwing them away we just scattered these seed potatoes on the ground and covered them with hay. This is the resulting harvest.

You're amazing. Your gardens are awesome.
Do you have big plans for the summer?
Awesome Harvest!! Not Bad at All. Thanks for sharing
Very nice harvest ya got there Mrs. Lea. Hope you have a great weekend!
SUper looking soil! ANy harvest is better than no harvest my friends:))
Good harvest! Thanks for sharing! I just harvested my first attempt at potatoes from a grow bag yesterday. It was like digging for gold. The best!
Great Looking harvest!!
Awesome job. One day we will get potatoes!!! Did you use any fertilizer?
Mmm worms heh!! Niice harvest of taters there Lea!!
What okra are you going to plant?
Have a good'nnn
I harvested about 13 pounds of red norland potatoes last week from three 20 gallon grow bags. The dirt was left over from last year with some peat moss and bone meal added at the time of planting, so the return on the two pounds of seed potatoes was well worth it. I have five 20 gallon backs of Yukon golds and then an entire raised bed of red norland and purple majesty potatoes that’ll be harvested over the next couple of weeks. Hoping for a total of 60 pounds or more for this years potato harvest. I’ll replace the raised bed with sweet potato vines and I have a very small bed of sunchokes going which will give me a harvest of tubers by the first frost.
great harvest for a last minute planting.
I know a couple of Robins that would be very willing to help you harvest all those worms!

Very nice harvest for a very small effort! I love the red Lasota potatoes! Did I hear that worm giggle again ? 😉 You guys make a great team out there in the garden!!!
Nice harvest!
That's good
Good try, bad result. You should be getting at least 30pounds in that much ground. Try a different variety and plant deeper, at least a foot down. Maybe try planting in containers, 'Buckets', results are better and work is cut in half. Do a youtube search on planting potatoes in containers. This is not a criticism you tried and you were chuffed with the result so you are a winner.
Ok I'm new here I'm a Michigan girl!
I have always planted my sprouted old potatoes. Up here we plant them about 6" deep and don't harvest till the top flowers or dries up. Why did you choose not to bury them and wait until they were done?
If you got big fat worms you know where you potatoes went.lol
OMG, how many times are you going to mention worms??!! LOL But seriously, how were the potatoes? Tasty?
The people i watch use like 2 feet tall rows of hay and straw and some dirt to grow in and their harvest are insane in Alaska gonna try it this year
Great job..

May 19?? You need at least 3 to 4 months to have a good potato harvest. Perhaps you can spread a layer of a couple of inches of dry straws and dry tree leaves before you plant your potatoes to improve the drainage. Straws don't absorb a lot of water. This way you don't need to worry about your potatoes getting rotten.
