After posting this video I realized that I planted two varieties of potatoes. The potatoes with the multi-color are Purple Viking potatoes.
Huckleberry Gold is a low glycemic potato. It one that we have grown before with incredible productivity-- producing a Southern California summer crop.
We grow our potatoes in a number of ways. The Ruth Stout method is used where we want to find our potatoes above the soil. This is because sometimes a potato plant will "contaminate" a growing area with many tiny potatoes that are hard to find. Those potatoes will eventually sprout and become a weed that we need to pull.
The traditional hilling of plants as they grow is another method that we use. Hilling with soil is a good way to provide a thermal insulation for the developing spuds. In our climate, hilling can make a difference.
