| First year gardener. Potato was not on my list initially but I got some free seed potatoes that were said to be a new breed by my university. So I planted 12 half egg-size potatoes on April 27. Today I harvested 3 plants and got a pretty satisfying harvest (75 days from seeding to harvesting)! The vines are still green, with very few yellow leaves at the bottom. But I want to have some room to start fall broccoli. Spring broccoli were eaten up by flea beetles. Today's dinner is roasted potato. Yummy! I will give the rest plants a little more time to mature. |

| Very appetite appealing. I think what you have shown are a bit young, as one can judge from the skin coming off. It is ok for immediate eating but perhaps not perfect for keeping/ |

| But those little ones make the very best new potatoes! To me, it's the real reason for growing them. Stored potatoes you can get at the grocery. |

| I'm having to harvest my potatoes a bit early because of all the rain. I've solved the non-keeping problem by canning them. |

| Those look delicious. The reds grow, large and early. |
