I have not had a potato in 4 weeks. I am trying to fight off type 2 diabetes. My mouth is watering reading this thread.
If I get them in the garden early enough, very little pesticide or fungicide is needed. Following southern peas in my planting cycle and adding heavy compost minimizes fertilizer inputs. There is a yukon gold on the butcher's block that was probably dug in July. It is just now starting to eye up. It will be part of my son's breakfast tomorrow. Great home garden crop, just highly variable yields.
