I planted a bunch of potato eyes and plants grew. How do I know when to dig them up? There better be some potatoes under there!!!!!

We planted a small patch, many years ago, just to show my city kids that they do not grow in bags at A&P. Here’s a source for info I whish I had then. Our tennis ball sized potatoes did do what I wanted though.

I think they may come out of the ground as “grits” when you get below I-90, in which case you may need a strainer too.

I'm even showing my kids age. :grin:

Lilith,
you should harvest the potatoes when you have to bend over nude in your garden.

Oh, wait, that's *how*. Not *when*.

If you want baby potatoes like for canning or stews, usually after about 75 days you can harvest them. I usually wait until the tops start dying off if I want bigger potatoes to store for later. Also if you see potatoes "heaving" (exposed to the sun) you need to cover them back up with dirt. Just do a test dig. If they aren't big enough you can cover them back up and leave them for a couple of weeks.
Did you plant them before St. Patricks day?

The sad thing is, he's fudging his age. The info he provided is actually what he learned from his mistakes during the Potato Famine.

.... but it WAS the second famine!





















..... blabber mouth.

As far as potatoes and eyes go, when my potatoes see ME they usually stop growing and yell "OHhhhh my eyes, MY EYES!!" :grin:
So then I eat them. BWahahahahhaaaaaaa!!!!

Yeah, payback is a bitch, you starchy little bastards!!!

Ah hah! Now I begin to understand why grits has such a bad name in the upper regions. They've been making them out of the wrong stuff!

Lilith, the longer you wait, the bigger the potato. You can leave 'em a month to six weeks before you dig them.

I was waiting on someone to correct the poor misguided thing. PF honey....grits are made from corn as any self respecting Southern person should know. I won't hold it against you this time. But I believe someone needs to give you a good lesson on Southern. Now I'd be more than willing to oblige if you'd like.....for a small...( :d: :bsex: )...fee.
