We had minimal rainfall while the potato plants were growing and I did not make a point of irrigating the potatoes. The plants died back earlier than expected. Not surprising ... not many taters this year.
On the plus side, the tubers look great! A bit of scaliness on the German Butterballs, but only a few potatoes were lost to little teeth marks or other serious damage. The red-skinned French Fingerlings are perfect!
The potato bed was full of critters ... wiggly earthworms, giant millipedes, and a million tiny ants that were VERY disturbed! Glad I got to the potatoes before those giant millipedes did ...
