Potatoes in new beds emerging. This is a pic of two of our 4 beds, 100 row feet. This amount is way more than enough for us to eat. This year I was patient. Every year I plant potatoes too early and they have to be harvested in late August when it is still too warm out. This year I hope to harvest at the end of September when my storage conditions are cool enough to keep the potatoes in good condition till spring. I don’t have a basement and my soil is too wet for a root cellar so I use my unheated pole barn.
