I had one patch that due to various reasons didn't get harvested for
three years! Only just finished lifting them last week. Plenty of
potatoes overwintered, too many really. This results in far too many
plants coming up and too much competition. There were no clearly defined
rows any more so digging was a pain as every inch had to be dug. The
yield was OK, not spectacular, and consisted largely of small potatoes.
