Yep, one of my all time favorites sugar peas and new potatoes creamed. We've been enjoying "robbed" new potatoes for a couple of weeks now and will harvest all in about three weeks.

The sugar peas make an excellent companion plant with potatoes. They seem to provide just the right amount of nitrogen for the potatoes who don't need a lot.

Definitely one of the top joys of gardening in peas and potatoes.

tried burying the stems of the potato plants for more yield?

Disagree...hilling up potatoes protects the new potatoes from sun and turning green with high levels of solanine as well as increasing yield. It is important to cover the new potatoes as they grow.

Probably get one more descent pea picking but going to hold off on robbing a few pototoes.
Usually when my taters are blooming , I'll start to snatch a few but this year that are not quite big enough. One good thing , I can fill potoes everywhere in a few I've checked but they're about the size of a quarter . I always plant 150 pieces of pototoes and have plenty but I believe this year I'm going to have more than I can handle which is good cause I'll give them to our local food banks .
Anybody else seeing or getting a lot of young potoes yet.

Spuds just starting to bloom and peas starting to set. I am well early with things this year, my first sowing of tomatoes in the greenhouse have four trusses and tiny tomatoes on the lowest one.

We also love fresh picked peas, and also fresh hulled Lima Beans, both are found in Amish markets when ready.
