If you plant your potatoes deep and then pile up the soil around them as they grow they will give a better yield.
Not a great picture, but can you see how dead the top is? When the tops begin to flower is when you're really meant to harvest. Fact is, I buried my potatoes deep and then began to add mulch and soil around them as they grew. Unfortunately, I really set them deep and with all the rain, they drowned. Now I see the real advantages of barrels, or bins.
I can never wait quite long enough for my radishes to grow. It's not like they take that long, either! So I pulled up a perfectly healthy white icicle radish this morning with nothing to show for it. Look on the page called Rebecca's Garden, though, for more info on what I was able to harvest this morning! Peace Out.
