"Planted these little ol' taters last Spring and did it a little differently. Planted them in 5 foot buckets with the bottoms cut out and filled them as the sprouts came thru. Takes a little more time and a little bit more water, but the yields are fabulous and if you want the new size taters, then you just have pull up the handle a few inches and reach around. Might try the red, white, and blue taters for the heck of it this Spring. If it ever gets here!"

"Fun and reliable to grow. In my experience, yields are less than advertised. The yields will be even lower if you harvest a few early for "new potatoes", but those small, thin skinned, beauties will make you so glad that you grew them."
