I planted potatoes late in the season and watched the leafy tops appear over a period of several weeks.
Then I realized they had disappeared…
As it was very late in the season by them, and I felt timid about disturbing the soil, I left the area alone.
The next year, those leafy tops regrew.
After they turned yellow and fell over, I trimmed them and dug into the straw I had planted them in.
Sure enough, there were potatoes!
I have left just a couple of potatoes in the ground.
Perhaps they will grow again next year.
