Growing Potatoes Vertically… The Harvest

Growing Potatoes Vertically… The Harvest

We wanted to update everyone on the results of our growing potatoes vertically project.

After all of the foliage turned brown and started withering we waited an aditional 2 weeks before attempting to harvest. When the big day came we trimmed back the foliage, separated the fencing and tipped the whole pile over.

Given the fact that we had a terrible growing season up here in Rhode Island this year I was pleased to see a good amount of potatoes. After picking through them and discarding those that were mostly green or scabbed over we ended up with just over 15 pounds. Not the 50 pounds plus we were hoping for but given the weather and the fact that this was our first attempt at growing potatoes vertically we were pretty happy.

The quality and flavor of the potaoes is amazing and we are already planning next years crop. The pictures below will give you an idea what harvest day was like.
