In addition to these red potatoes, we planted Norkotah russet potatoes (looks like one of which snuck into this box) and Kennebec white potatoes. We harvested about fifty pounds of each, also from roughly 4 pounds of seed. From what I've been able to find online, that sounds like a good harvest. It seems to be just about the right amount for my family of five to get us through the winter.
