    It's been in the 90's fahrenheit for weeks. I harvested all my potatoes...I thought but, looky here. :rolleyes:

    After harvesting the potatoes I planted beans in here but there are two potato plants coming up and not looking bad at all ??? I thought they were a cool season crop.
    Do you think I will get potatoes or just green growth??

    You only need to leave a fragment behind, and up they come again. If you earth them up I reckon you'll be eating a few for Christmas lunch!

    I think you will get some spuds after they bloom.
    Spuds are not a cool weather crop here.
    Good luck.

    Here they are supposed to be cool weather since we have 6 months + of hot weather. It got up to 97°f today heat index of 107 and they are still chilling !! :D

    Annie— you know, tatties typically are ready to harvest after about 90 days. Oké, they were not planted, but you can use that rule of thumb as a guide.
