The SVG tubers don't look much different sprout- wise, but the skin has turned purple.

What varieties did you loose?

At least 50%, so I just pulled the marking flags. The loss of Amey was disappointing, it is the only one I can remember at the moment. I did not till the potato growing area and I think that made it easier for the voles to find them. I went nuts with the rototiller this fall and I'll see if I can find some repellent devices that have been recommended.
