I started digging my Jelly potatoes yesterday, found out I missed two Ramona potato hills and dug them up also.
Odd thing in the Jelly row, dug of three of ten, give or take a hill, and two produced normal, expected yield, one had a two BIG bakers, but the third produced three potatoes the size of chicken eggs.
Now this variety really throws the potatoes off to one side of the main stem, but I enlarged the hole and used my finger to scrape in the hole to see if there are not some off to the side - (I have found a lot I would have missed this way) - but those three were it - (there were two up at surface level but it seemed the Jelly is one where hilling, very high hilling, might pay off) - in the hole.
Next year I will move the potatoes over to the other side of the garden for a few years as this reduces chance of biological nasties messing up the yield..
My tall field corn looks to have a very good yield for cobs, but is still weeks from time to pick and bundle up as shocks.
I will pull the shorter of the two field corns as the stalks are starting to fall apart already but surprisingly , the sweet corn stalks, (usually sweet corn stalks fall apart quickly) are still green and standing tall.
