Harvested the Adretta and Blue Congo varieties since they were completely dead after summer and did not survive the drought. The other three are growing back after the heat and I let them in until they die.
Adretta harvest: 463g
Blue Congo harvest: 120g
Most of the tubers are too tiny to peal or eat.
167 days after planting.

Current state of the potato bed. Two varieties apparently don’t deal well with the dryness. I watered here and there but mostly let them be.
