Size Matters - GroVid22 Potato Harvest
It's Harvest Time!
1st Grow Bag of Potato, for the season!
ABOVE, When Potato Greens get yellow, and die off, it means, time to harvest. Now, I don't know about what you've been told, but I have heard, that size doesn't matter... in fact, I heard that,
everyone knows - its not the size. its how it tastes.
Fair enough, I will simply empty the Grow Bag out, and sift thru for the big, beautiful bounty!
Below: Hand Sift, and separate the two varieties.
... mean while, I gathered THE SMALLEST ever, batch of potato! The left pile is called ruby Crescent and while some were a couple inches (4-5 cm), the majority were not impressive. The right pile, is Red Bliss. Again, they were growing to 3 to 4 inches (8-12 cm) on average, last year, but NOOOOooooooooo, not this year. Looks more like my Red Bliss, will not be bringing any bliss to any Bonnie Lasses this year, will they?
I am secure enough in my gardenhood that I can hold me head up high. I will have to over compensate with other things, I guess. Maybe a Corvette or new Mustang Convertible with a big 302Boss Engine? Oh, maybe I can claim it's cold out and that's why they're so tiny? Damn.
Below: I am beginning to see why these Cherry Tomato, are actually called Blueberry Cherry!
Below:Look closely, tons of onion starting to show, too!
Gardening To DO:
- Harvest 2nd Potato Grow Bag, replant immediately (3rd will wait for a week)
- Plant more red lettuce lettuce for the next round
- Harvest the salad greens that are almost going to bolt!
- thin carrot, think some more onion
- Pick a ton of Raspberry each day! Last year, once I started, it was almost a pint of Raspberry each day (half to freezer for later jelly and jam making)!

I'm thinking you wont have time to lament over the size of the potatoes ... tomato deluge will soon be incoming. Having said that.. those small potatoes.. especially the red skins make awesome potato salad.
Poor Greg! Hehehehehe!
I think, yes, a:
Might help. Lol!
By the way, I would show you my garden but the sun is out.
In Ireland, that means, there's washing on the line! 😉
Also, in Ireland, if the sun's out, that means Irish all burn to crisp, even if it is for 11 seconds for a fast phone pic of the Garden! @juliamulcahy
