In this informal gardening demonstration, Nicole Johnsey Burke explains that potato plants that appear dead are actually ready for harvest. She shows how to dig around the base of the plant to uncover multiple potatoes per seed tuber, emphasizing that each planted potato can yield five to six harvestable tubers. Nicole warns that grocery‑store potatoes are often chemically treated to prevent sprouting and therefore recommends using certified seed potatoes for planting. She also discusses planting timing, noting that potatoes can be planted twice a year with a second planting window opening in the fall, allowing gardeners to extend their harvest season.
