I planted them in late Jan. and noticed lots of black-spotted leaves in April or May. I harvested them in mid-June and only got 8.4 lbs from 8 plants. Any advice?Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591311147406307304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-28568776907056208842010-04-20T10:52:41.137-07:002010-04-20T10:52:41.137-07:00Fabulous pototo harvest.

I'm not sure when (if ever) my blue potatoes will be ready to harvest. They've been in their pots two months now. I fished around in the soil to see if I could find a tuber, but got nothing.

It has taken me a year to get to potatoes of harvestable size, the tubers that I received through SSE were tiny things that I planted in pots last April. I got just enough tubers from that planting to then plant in the ground last fall. Those grew and survived the winter to produce my current crop. So, if you request some tubers through theMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-49647007900259325712010-04-20T07:17:28.055-07:002010-04-20T07:17:28.055-07:00Turling, they are a pretty trio, I wish I could sa...Turling, they are a pretty trio, I wish I could say that I planned it that way. :)<br /><br />---<br /><br />Angela, I am happy with the potato harvest, it was an experiment to see if I could grow them during the winter.<br /><br />---<br /><br />Dan, It sounded interesting when I first read about it, now I'll get to taste . . .<br /><br />---<br /><br />villager, the pizza was good, it was Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-30274605073289359012010-04-20T07:05:39.574-07:002010-04-20T07:05:39.574-07:00Time to reply to all the lovely comments!

Does the color cook out or does it stay true when cooked?<br /><br />I think I'll say far away from those Lumpers if they are so susceptible to blight. After the northeast was hit so hard with it last year I'll stick to Kennebecs if I can get them.

I can't wait to hear how the Negresse taste.<br /><br />Two years ago, I checked out Weaver's Heirloom Vegetable Gardening from the library and I read and reread it.
