Yesterday while it was sunny, I went to check on the potato vines I saw in the compost pile all summer. We have a large two compartment compost bin and two potatoes grew at the center divider, with very lush growth (why wouldn't they, being in the compost pile!). So, here is the results of digging down quite a ways. All these from just two plants! We figured about 20 lbs. total. Yummy! There was one more plant along the back side but there were only 6 smallish ones there.
That is an impressive harvest! I tried to grow potatoes once, in black garbage bags. I got some small ones, enough for one dinner. I burned them. All of them. Never got a taste. Some day I'll be brave enough to try again.
