I did take this pic with Tony J Sisty in mind. On a pic in spring he ask me why there was so much space between the plants. It`s needed, they grow ( My dear wife was so kind to pose to show how big the potato plants are now and they are not ready yet.
I can't believe these are potato plants! I never knew they grew so big! My father used to pick potatoes in Maine when he was a kid - I'll have to show him this photo to see if the potatoes he picked were ever this big! Great shot!
@sparkleplenty1 Joyce, I agree, I have lived in Maine , and have visited Presque Isle , Maine , and the potato plants there were not the size of these plants, and this area is one of our top growing potato areas.....
Wow, I see what yoU meant about the spacing, you must have some every fertile soil there to get such a crop !and as you indicated, these potatoes were not even ready yet to harvest , this is amazing!!, I wonder if other root vegetables offer the same productivity as these potatoes will...thank you for your kind reply,very interesting!, a definite FAV.
Good shot. These potato plants are huge. I have dug up my potatoes right before the heat waves started. A neighbor can't get his potatoes dug up because the ground is too hard. The potato plants here are dead due to the heat and drought.
