After the last harvest (and trying to clean off potatoes since, to eat) - and because of the fact that the ground is rock-hard and a pain to dig - I decided to try growing them above-ground in straw. I amended the soil underneath, embedded the seed potatoes in it, laid out soaker hose and covered with straw (and will continue to add straw as the plants grow). It'll be interesting to see how the yield compares. I know for sure they'll be easier to scrub!
This time we have five different varieties than before: Bison, Bintje, All Red, Purple Majesty, and Sangre.
