[AT] new spuds

[Ralph Goff]

Ron, I just dig around under the plant with bare hands and can easily tell
if theres any potatoes worth pulling out. Carefully replace the dirt
afterwards and I have never had a problem with the plants dieing off. I was
just looking at mine this morning and thinking it won't be long now. They've
been flowering for a week or more and with all this rain we've had theres
tremendous topgrowth. Hopefully there will be a few worth eating soon.
