We have dug all the potatoes. Here's the official yield:
4# ... Purple Majesty deep purple color inside and out
5# 12 oz ... Yukon Golds yellow fleshed
7# ... Russian Banana fingerlings
9# 7 oz ... Mountain Rose red skins and flesh
9# 7 oz ... Purple Viking purple skin, creamy white flesh, especially good for baking
We planted 2# seed potatoes for each variety, except for the Russian Banana fingerlings. They certainly did live up to their reputation as high yielding. 1# seed potatoes produced seven pounds to eat!
The Purple Majesty yield was disappointing. Something happened to those plants early on. A section of that bed was empty ... no plants and no sign of seed potatoes in the ground. Our best guess is that "something" ate them!
