Potato Harvest

I dug my potatoes! I wish I could have left them in the ground for a wile longer until the root cellar is cooler, but I have a serious vole problem in my garden, so I didn't want to risk losing too many potatoes to voles. The potatoes in the closest crate are a variety called 'Magic Molly' they are vibrantly purple. I planted 15 feet of these and harvested 23 lbs, although I lost quit a lot to voles. The middle crate has a variety called 'Carola', I planted 30 feet of these and harvested 58 lbs. The last crate has a variety called 'Red Gold' they are a very early maturing variety, they were ready to harvest by August 1st. I planted 30 feet of these and harvested 45 lbs., although I lost some to voles.
