Eleven potato plants were dug a total of 27 pounds for cold room storage. Five Norland and six Yukon Gold. The yield was under 3 pounds per plant, which is low, expectation is from 4 to 8, but the quality is perfect no hollow centers. A stake at planting marks the seed potato and this facilitates hand digging, since the vegetation is absent when harvesting.New potatoes always grow just above the seed in about a foot diameter.
