I'm gonna wait til every plant has the ground popping and I will swipe one potato from each plant and cream them with some green beans.
That will be about 13 potatoes.
I will eat them with some fatty fried pork steaks corn on the cob and green onions from the garden.
After that I will go to bed and gain weight.

Unlike tomatoes , you can use baby potatoes anytime. They will taste even better. But you are not going to get a high mileage.

We used to grow about 500 feet or more of the things.
I never got so sick and tired of digging potatoes in my life.
My mom would send me out to the garden with a bucket to get new potatoes and green beans.
The home raised bacon would already be cooking in the kettle and the home grown free range chicken would be frying in the skillet.
There would be fresh sliced tomatoes from the garden to eat with sugar sprinkled on them with homemade bread and butter from our cow on the side.
All this with chicken gravy and honey from our bee hives.
What kind of potato do you want mom and she would say lets have the white ones this time and make sure they aren't any bigger than a quarter no smaller than a nickel.
Make sure and look out for snakes I saw one the other day by the apple trees.
My dog Rip would go with me and help me dig the potatoes some times.
He wouldn't hurt the vines just uncover the potatoes and sniff.
Quite dramatic but this was life for me growing up.

I am hungry.

I was also raised on the farm (Up until early teens) . Potatoes were one of of our main crops. Young tomato fresh out of field/garden is unbeatable, just like freshly picked corn, boiled right away. Those who have not done it may not know what we are talking about.

Good going Worth! Eat or put up all of them you can, the vines won't last too much longer with the higher temps we are having. A lot of my sugar snap peas did not even make it in the house, ate them while picking.

Someone expects me to give them sugar snap peas.
I think not.
I have been eating them as fast as they get ready out of hand in the garden.

I love sugar snap peas, either flat or filled. I used to use flat ones like snow peas in stir fry and just munch the full ones of the hand, the same way with young okra.

last year was my first attempt at potatoes, grew (well tried to grow) 3 types in a raised bed, plants looked healthy as all heck, I hilled them and they kept right on growing, then one by one the leaves started wilting, the stems going soft and when you dug up the potato ... oh that smell, cant you smell that smell... the smell of death surrounds you. I lost every plant but 2 in that bed which I harvested early... Any ideas? I even sent them to my local extension but by the time they got there they were too far gone to test for verticillium wilt

[Worth1]

I have no idea there is a list a mile long on potato problems.
I know as soon as mine start to do something I'm going to dig them up.

Just enough for me fresh from the garden.
I bought some fatty pork steaks green beans and heavy cream too.
