potato population

potatoes have begun to put in a serious appearance in the garden and that's cool...the top photo is of one of five ollala spuds that have come up after wintering over in my basement...they were the only spuds that made it through the winter without the need for being replanted...( well...two are still in pots down there but the ones we planted in the garden represent seventy-five percent of last autumn's harvest...a good candidate for a winter keeping potato variety )...the middle two photos are of the recovery of the frost bitten russets...all these varieties are cold hardy..we planted some intermediate varieties last saturday and the warmth loving yukon golds will go in next month on planting day...the bottom photo is of a german butterball just about to get going on producing leaves...bet they're out next visit...i will call myself on that one a bit later in the week.
