Several weeks ago we harvested our Yukon Gold Potatoes from one of our front yard plots. Our total yield was about 15 pounds of the creamy succulent potato.
Harvesting Yukon Gold potatoes
With the pitch fork in hand we pulled out the tiny potatoes. This is our first time growing below ground level tubers, and we are pleased with the results.
After pulling up about two pounds of the tasty morsels, we washed them with the garden hose and admired their beauty on the front porch.
