Yesterday while I was at work Wifey recruited The Boy to help harvest the potatoes. Although the sweet potatoes are still doing their best Audrey 2 impersonation, the regular potatoes were clearly ready to come up. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of what the bed looked like ahead of time. I can say, though, that what vines hadn't been eaten by deer in the last few days were turning a sickly shade of yellow/green.
The good news is that Wifey's potatoes are in fantastic shape. Not too shabby considering we've never grown potatoes before and this was what was in a 7'x3' box.
We're talking about what to do for next year since this worked out so well. Perhaps we'll try experimenting with a Potato Tower.
