Hiya Bev!
    I grow a rare-ish swt tater, called 'Viola'.  This year, in KY, we
had a late freeze or two - followed by our mutual endless drought.  We
are about 16" below on rainfall - not so bad as our more southern pals. 
All my underground goodies were smaller this year for the first time-
onions, garlics, leeks, taters and swt taters........i am calling it as
the year we went thru.
I expect things to size up again in a gentler season!
Take care, and dream onward of a wetter time for all ze growers!
Toni
