I harvested one trashcan of three this weekend because I did not want to get all of the potatoes at once. There were probably 50-75 potatoes. Some were large, but quite a few were pretty small. I will wait until all of the vines die back to harvest the other trashcans. Thanks, Joe. I harvested one trashcan of three this weekend because I did not want to get all of the potatoes at once.

I would leave them in and wait for the other vines to die back as well. It is not going to hurt the potatoes on the vines that already died back if they stay in the ground. I let my Yukons stay in the ground for over a month (after the vines died back) before digging them up and there were no problems. Hi Jay.

I planted Russian banana fingerlings in trashcans on May 15. About 1/2 of the vines coming out of the trashcans are dying back. The other half are still green. Should I harvest now or wait until all of the vines die back? Thanks for your input. I live in Northern Ohio. I planted Russian banana fingerlings in trashcans on May 15.

I grew Swedish Peanut Potatoes last year (during that horrible growing season when here in New England we had no sun for 2 months) and from what I found out this variety of potato are late season so hilling is necessary. I grew Yukons last year too and like you found out they don't need any hilling. It's kind of a low matainence potato to grow. Throw them in the ground and watch them grow! Good luck. Joe,

I am having a tough time finding out if I need to do some "hilling" on them or not. I found out with Yukon Golds I don't do any hilling since they are an early season variety.
