Sweet potato harvest October 28/19

1- 4 x4 raised bed on left
2- 4x8 low bed on right

Raised bed potato grew deeper since soil was looser to greater depth- harder to dig out- had to dig deeper
Had fewer plants to start with
Had a row of leeks growing but they were crowded out and there were none left

Low bed the potatoes didn't go into the clay so were all within a shovel depth
Had moe plants in this bed
Harvest was 3 times as much as high bed but area was 2 times

Pink- red variety seems more vigorous in our conditions here

Kept pot of each variety for next year
