Next year, I will experiment by keeping some potatoes stored in bags and others will be stored in simple straw lined clamps in the soil. See which works out best.<br />RobRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03237472076391330187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071315363222503671.post-13192673745335872602009-07-27T18:02:34.223+00:002009-07-27T18:02:34.223+00:00oh, that was painful to read.

What do you mean but "over boils"? That is a term I have not heard before. Interestingly some of the best potatoes are the volunteers that come up from the few I miss when digging.Willhttp://willtaft.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071315363222503671.post-8340395756116214052009-07-23T14:08:13.218+00:002009-07-23T14:08:13.218+00:00Anne,
