We ate quite a few this year during the summer, but today the girls did our main dig. They took 18lbs of potatoes out of the raised bed! I’m guessing we ate around 5lbs during the summer. Last year I think we had a total of 15lbs. I’m thinking of building a little riser that can go on the box we put the potatoes in for a given year and allow us to bury the potatoes more during the year. I also need to make sure I get the type of potatoes that actually produce more when repeatedly buried during the season. I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the case this year.
