I'll bet you get a bigger yield when the weather is warmer.
The potatoes have been in the bag since about last June, warmer is a
few days during the summer of 80+, most summer days are 70's and high
60's.<BG> I will spread the straw out over a garden bed later today,
we didn't dig through it looking for potatoes because it was wet and
matted together, so maybe there will be more hiding. The tires would
be a great idea but we have a flight of stairs up to the house with
no other access, also because last year was our first garden we
didn't/don't have a lot of compost or good garden soil. I was trying
to stretch what I had:-)
Gotcha. I had forgotten how 'temperate' your summer temps are...wonderful potato growing weather. :)
Just out of curiosity, why have you not harvested them before? They were probably ready late summer...
