We harvested our first new potatoes!
I'm on the central coast of California (I don't know what growing zone that is, sorry ETA: Zone 10a?) and we are growing them in wine barrels from our local vineyards. They started dying a few days ago and we googled and found out that you harvest them when they die, so we dug up three plants and look we have potatoes!
We are going to eat them tomorrow night for dinner. We still have about 6 plants to dig up so we have a couple more meals. We'll dig up the rest in a few days when they are deader. Then we are going to plant more! They grew very quickly.
I hope they're delicious! So far our zucchini and crookneck squash have been wonderful. Also all of our onions have been delicious, and we have this veritable forest of parsley that we try to use in everything, LOL.
Does anyone know why our radishes didn't grow? They started really small and then went to flower and died. Did we have too many? did we need to really thin them?
