Finally I was able to harvest a successful batch of potatoes. I’ve tried multiple times in the past few years and couldn’t due to rodents destroying my early crops.
On March 17, 2024 I planted Austrian Crescent Tuber potatoes as a new variety, and the purple ones I think I planted those in the fall of 2023. The one thing I did differently was I added netting to my pots and added extra bone meal once a month. It worked!
I still have two more pots filled with more Austrian Crescent Tubers to harvest later this summer. I’m so happy! Within a couple of hours we ate some with Pollo Guisado (Chicken stew). Very tender and delicious.
