    My dad grew up poor on a farm during the Depression. On their property, they had a big root cellar that you could stand in. Inside, they had built wooden frames to hold the potatoes that had been dug. They would throw lime on them, just as Mr Brown recommended. They would keep for a long time! I’m so glad you didn’t run into any snakes while you were digging! ❤-Brenda

    Grammy & Grampy had a potato/onion room in the basement. She called it the potato cellar, I called it the spider room. Such a creepy place. But if Grammy asked you to go fetch potatoes, you better get on it or get the paddle.
  • We have a beautiful crop all in bloom now. It’s like a treasure hunt when we dig em up!
  • I grow mine in cardboard boxes, since it's just me and prevents gophers eating on them. At the end of the season I just turn the box over and there they are.

    So very timely!! I was just wondering if it was time for harvesting potatoes and how they needed to be stored. God bless you and Mr. Brown

  • There is nothing better than homegrown potatoes! Mom and Dad have a really good harvest coming in.
  • I remember getting potatoes up in a number 10 tub, after a long day at school. My daddy would be done dug them the evening before. After school, we knew what our job was.🙏❤️🙂

    We love homegrown potatoes because they taste much better than store bought.
