Remember in February, when these arrived on our door step? We planted the Yukon Gold potatoes in April, they were up in May and yesterday, we dug them up! We dug up all but two of our nine mounds (the two still have live plants).
Under each mound was at least 3 potatoes! 
Our harvest straight from the ground and then washed and ready to eat!
We started with 2 lbs of seed potatoes and we have so far 2 lbs 1 oz of eating potatoes and two more mounds to eventually dig up. Not bad for a first attempt at growing potatoes!
We have set some aside for growing our next crop-- this time, in deeper holes so we don't have to mound up so much-- and the rest will be consumed immediately.
We ate a tiny one raw and it was delicious! We can't wait to cook them properly!
