When we moved in a few weeks ago the landlord told us he’d found a potato in here, and left it just in case. So I guess we’ll be having potato😂

Any tips on when to know to harvest??

It’s going to keep growing taller and taller all summer! As it grows, cover the “stem” with more soil so that more potatoes can grow on it! Then once the stem dies it’s ready to harvest!!

Also make sure to fertilize and I would loosen the soil around it a bit
