Take potatoes out of the ground? Don't they have people who do that?
We had a small crop of kennebec potatoes, white skin, creamy middles last year. They are my favorite kind of potato right now. (I'm eating low carb but DH and DS are eating carbs) We kept them in bags in the basement where it is cool. They are just starting to grow from the eyes, so in the next couple weeks we'll put in a row about 8 inches deep, stick some potatoes with eyes in, cover them, then mound up the soil. As we might be getting a frost in the next 6-8 weeks, the potatoes will take that long to find the surface, and when they do, we'll mound up more soil around them. Then we'll be the people that take potatoes out of the ground, again.
