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.
