Harvest

I harvested my first potatoes this weekend. Sort of by accident. This is my first attempt at growing potatoes. So far I've learned that, like tomatoes, potatoes probably need to be staked or caged. I discovered this after a good rainstorm flattened several potato plants. Most of them are still doing fine, even though they're growing sideways, but a few stems broke and those plants are dying. I dug up one this weekend and found about a pound and a half of redskin potatoes. So now we're looking for potato recipes. I have about 20 plants--at 1-1/2 pounds per plants, that's a lot of potatoes in our future.
