Nobody had heard of it when it happened to me either. I only planted white so I don't even know where the reds came from. two years ago I planted white potatoes and they harvested red???

There's no way that I know of that the white potatoes could just turn into red potatoes at harvest time. I have never heard anything like that either!

These were in the ground a while and plants grew before I planted 2 rows of red skin potatoes beside them. I just recently dug up all 5 rows. I have no white potatoes, all 3 rows of white potatoes, and they were white when i planted them, but all 3 rows came out of the ground red. I have talked to several people that say they have never heard of something like that happenning. The potatoes are all good. We canned 14 quarts of the small ones and have a bushel left to fry and stew. I planted 3 rows of kennebec potatoes, which is a fairly lightly colored white skin potato.

The plants had started turning yellow but they never did bloom. I live in Fort Worth. We had several good sized potatos only after a couple of months in the earth. I just dug mine up a few days ago.

No green is left in it. I lay them out on the lawn on a good dry day and dry the dirt off if they are wet and muddy at all. I then brush the dirt off and put in a heavy duty card board box. I put the white potatoes in one box red in another one etc to seperate them. I keep them in a cool dry place in the winter other wise they will sprout to soon and get soft. If I have any left by planting time I replant them out. I dig potatoes after the vine is all dead. No green is left in it.
