four corners

over the past three months the four corners potatoes i planted on the last day of june have flowered...

and produced fruits...

fourteen of which i have retrieved as they dropped off the plants...so we may have viable seed...

today when i got home from work i noticed that two of the four plants had pretty much finished up...two are still green and one still has a fruit attached...so i decided to harvest the two that were finished...

one thing that immediately became apparent was the need for larger containers in the future...i suspect there would have been more tuber production if there had been a bit more room...

still two plants produced thirty-seven tubers...

that weighed in at a full ounce and a half...

which i do not find to shabby given the size...i will, i believe replant some of these and let them winter over outside to see what spring brings...the rest i will store in the basement and, if this past season is any sort of index, be planting again in next june.
