I wish I'd been able to plant mine earlier this year. Then I'd have new potatoes now too!

Mine are golf-ball sized at best. They emerged only in late May and early June, thanks to an extremely cold spring and a very late thaw. A full ground thaw occurred at my place only in late May and in some other people's farms it wasn't until June.

My ground was frozen too. This may be one good argument for bins, to get an earlier start than the frozen soil allows.
