I wanted to wait as long as possible before harvesting in order to see how long and how many potatoes could be grown using the Mini Cone Greenhouses, but the dog got the garden gate open and the sheep came in and helped themselves so I decided to harvest and replant.
Here are the potato plants before the sheep visit.

And, here are some of the potatoes I dug up. The red variety grew better than the white variety of potato.
Replanting
First I removed the cones.
Then looked for potatoes.
After digging up and harvesting a double row of potatoes, I replanted with sprouted potato seed.
Two hills were put inside Mini Cone Greenhouses but the rest was just planted in the ground to compare how best to plant a 2nd potato crop in late July.
