I harvested potatoes and got a 2/1 ratio this year as 3/4 of them rotted in the ground. I guess our wonderful spring made them grow faster than normal and they should've been harvested last month when I was on vacation.

On the positive note, I got enough Ozette fingerlings to eat a meal and have plenty to plant for next year. And they were very tasty and firm. If there are other potato growers here who are interested, pm me.
