Growing food from scraps update July 8th: Yukon Gold Potatoes and Blueberries harvested
The potateos that formed eyes in our kitchen were cut up and calloused and used to grow more potatoes. Besides taking the chunks out we would otherwise throw away these potatoes.
I placed them in the ground and many months later I had three foot tall flowering potato plants.
Once the flowers started dying off it was time to dig up the spuds. And we got two to three times what we placed in the ground.
Some were real small, the size of raddish. But others were a nice size. These in the photos are all Yukon Gold potatoes. We also harvested an Irish potato plant and it produced a few large spuds.
There was a sweet potato chunk placed in the middle of the raised beds. I checked on it while pulling up the Yukon Gold potatoes but they were not ready yet. So hoping in a few months I'll have a sweet potato or two to harvest.
Blueberries were harvested as well. It's still producing more but I think it's at peak production right now. Probably going to make a pie out of it.

@nevlu123 Haha the potatoes might be a little old and beat up by the time they get to you. But when I eat them I'll think of you.
@solomimer hahhha.....ok bro wait for that...

Congratulations on your harvest! My blueberries are still a couple of weeks away from being ripe. I hope you get some sweet potatoes. I've never tried to grow those; just regular potatoes. Let me know if you figure out what to do with the tiny spuds. I've never come up with anything!
@goat-girlz thanks so much, this is the biggest potato harvest I've had. Last year we planted a single large potato but learned you can cut them up so we got many more this year.
Aww well I bet they will be delicious when they are ready.
We will probably roast the little spuds whole.. and cut up the bigger ones.. I wonder if those little ones means I harvested some plants too soon. Though most of the plants had betwee 1 and 4 spuds growing on the plant.

I always get the tiny ones too. I don't harvest until the plants have died. The potatoes tend to be bigger that way. There's nothing like a homegrown potato!

@goat-girlz oh okay.. we waited until the flowers were dying. Maybe next time I'll wait until the plant dies off. I may go for a second round of growing potatoes this year, I think I can harvest before November when the frosts show up. Yeah they sure are good.
@solominer same here.. I started another batch of red potateos. I think we can get another crop out of them before the warm days end.
