Yep.
Two years ago I had some potatoes that were way past their prime. So I dropped them into the garden.
Last year I had a decent harvest. I did no other work to them, I may have watered them a few times but that’s it.
Last year as I pulled out the tubers, I left only the very smallest ones, and just kind of covered them up
This year
Like as close to zero effort as possible
Yeah PNW has been mushrooming like mad this year.
