Potato Harvest

I finished harvesting my potatoes.  It was a challenging year for potatoes.  I planted them in early April and then we had extreme cold and snow.  I wasn't sure they were even going to sprout.  Luckily I planted them deep enough but some of them didn't come up till almost June.  If the hail storm hadn't hit, the probably would still be growing.  Anyhow, it was a decent harvest.  I always plant several different varieties - yellow, red and blue (I can't tell you the exact names). 

Yellow, red, and blue potatoes

Onions weren't ready to be harvested when the hail hit and I suspect they would have been much larger

Leo is confused - what are potatoes and why are you taking pictures of them?
