So fun! I feel like we've had such a dry spring that it makes a difference!

I’m sure. I left my hose on my corn and it. Won’t turn off. And that dude got huge this week lol

Very nice! Always exciting to see the potatoes pop out of the dirt. Interesting most of your seed potatoes remained intact. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the bags!
Red La Soda grow best in my area, but my Yukon Gold did very well, too. Had some hash browns with breakfast, and roast with Yukon Gold potatoes, over the weekend. Both meals were delicious with fresh potatoes.

I always enjoy potato reveals, you never know what you get. For the future, what may work better is if you leave the potatoes to sprout in a sunny location for 2-3 weeks. By then you'll know how many sprouts each potato gets, and you can cut the potatoes so each piece has 2-3 sprouts on it. This will prevent the pieces that doesn't sprout, as you had a few in there. Also, the days to harvest will be from that time - the time the chitted/sprouted potatoes are in ground and 90 days or so after, so you may get more harvest as the potato plants hit the ground running.
