Potatoes are blossoming!

You can't see the blossoms too well in this first photo (but look how big the potato plants have grown!)


Here is a close-up of the blossoms on the german butterball potatoes.


And here is a close-up of the blossoms on the cranberry red potatoes. They're purple and pink!


According to my sources, when the blossoms appear that means new potatoes are ready to be eaten. Because I want them as storage potatoes, I will wait until the greens wilt and die to harvest any. Though I am curious to see how the potatoes are doing and it would be fun to dig one up and eat it, I'm trying to be patient :-)
