When I was 12, the whole extended family was digging potatoes and I heard my uncle call me. I turned around and SPLAT. Hit a rotten potato right in the chest. Had to work a few rows away for the others the rest of the day and ride home in the back of the truck. 55 years ago and I still remind my uncle about that every potato season. 🙂

You could dig out a small, shallow cellar until you can make a permanent one. Before my mother had a real refrigerator, (1940's - 1950's) they would just dig a hole in the ground, away from the sun, where they'd place spoilables inside plastic bags. Electricity could take awhile to make it to rural areas, so eventually they bought all gas appliances. It couldn't have been more than a couple of feet deep, where milk, butter, mayonnaise, etc. would go after dinner. It worked for my parents. My grandmother had a large inground cellar under her house, with walls lined with wooden bins and shelves. It was a cool place hidden under the floor boards of her hall closet/pantry off the kitchen. A great spot to store stuff.

Don't feel bad about your onions. After years of disappointing onion harvests, I'm finally going to have a gorgeous one this year! WELL, until today, anyway... While out pruning my squash, I tripped and fell into my beautiful patch of Walla Walla's. Landed on my butt, square in the middle of a square raised bed, a bit high-centered with my feet kicking up in the air, unable to find anything to pull myself out with. Wasn't sure whether to cry or laugh. LOL, had to laugh cuz I could only imagine what it looked like to any of my neighbors watching! OMG!

A lot of the bad potatoes you dug up were the seed potatoes you planted in the spring. They were still whole because they were totally wrapped in their skin and this prevented from rotting into food for the plant. Next year cut your seed potatoes in half before planting them, then you will be able to identify them when you dig them up. Also, cut seed potatoes will germinate faster and rot down to provide food for the new plants. The eyes of the potato are what sprout and form the new plants. I have seen potato plants growing just from potato peelings that were dumped in the garden as compost.

Potatoes! while staying in colorado i got invited to go "glean" a farm by the framer(s) and some friends. the farmers got what they wanted and let us all have at the rest. i'd never grown potatoes before so i was happy to do it. but we all had a little trouble getting the leftovers out of the ground. one of the farmers came back with a "potato harvester" i didn't even know such a thing existed. he re-ran through the rows and uncovered LOTS of them. he was a little shocked at how many were in there hiding slightly deeper in the soil. there were so many, far to many for the 15 or so people picking them all up. we gave probably half of what we picked up back to the farm (they were grateful). i still ended up with 300 pounds in the back of my little truck to be shared with others who weren't able to come get the free leftovers. these were the best potatoes i have ever tasted. the only way i can explain it is they tasted more potatoie. i had no idea commercially farmed potatoes were so bland. ever since i have grown my own almost every year. (sometimes i grow way too many lol)

Some people make small root cellars out of buried galvanized garbage cans, leaving enough out so that water slopes away from the rims. Maybe under a crawlspace under your house? Shade. Worth a try for one or two. If you dig enough the ground is always cool. You’ll figure it out.

Growing onions wasn't as good this year as last for many people. We've had lot's of rain. The rain caused two of my potato containers to die. I was able to harvest and only 20 potatoes from the two small containers, the plants couldn't be saved. I have about 12 to 15 more conatiners to check. They're still alive, the rain didn't kill the potato greens. I'm hoping to keep the potatoes growing for at least another 2 months. Talk about a harvest on potatoes for y'all.....Nice!!! I borrowed your idea of using commercial grade bins to store your potatoes. I have to store ours in our home. Right now, I have them on my grow shelve which is in our office. I'm moving that shelving unit into our kitchen to hold the bins when we fill them. We live in a 1500 Sqft home, I have a very small kitchen...so space is sacred!!! I'd kill for a bigger kitchen. Y'all try to stay cool with all that heat.

I didn't scroll through all the comments to see if anyone else mentioned the white spots on your potatoes so here is what I found. The spots are called lenticels. "Lenticels are special pores in plant tissues that allow oxygen exchange with the outside world. Similar to stomas, lenticels appear on woody tissues like stems and roots instead of along more tender leaf tissues. So, you may ask yourself, “What causes potato lenticels to swell?”. The answer is moisture and lots of it. Enlarged lenticels in potatoes can appear while the potatoes are still growing, or they can pop up when potatoes are in storage, giving a gardener a sudden surprise. As long as there aren’t signs of other problems, like fungal or bacterial disease, potatoes with swollen lenticels are perfectly safe to eat. They tend to go bad faster, though, so keep that in mind when sorting your harvest." So, it's not the seed potatoes that caused the issue, it's the damp soil from all the rain and insufficient drainage of the bed.

When some of my early potatoes start sprouting in July and August I will plant them out for a fall harvest. The fall potatoes don't make monster potatoes but medium size is fine with me and they will normally keep until February. I've learned from growing potatoes since childhood that I don't need to wait for the red potatoes to completely dye back before I harvest them. If I wait for them to dye many of them will rot, so as soon as the foliage starts dying I dig them. You have a lot of potatoes to eat, we know you guys won't be going hungry 😊

I wonder if they just had too much rain that will make some of them rot. As far as the root cellar and potato storage goes. Potatoes need extremely high humidity just not the high temps. I doubt it was too humid under the barn. Potatoes need 80 to 90% humidity. I would recomend the book Root Cellaring by Nancy Bubel. It is a wonderful book. We never hill our potatoes just plant them deep. The root cellar for potatoes you do not even want a cement floor. They need so much humidity the floor should be pea gravel. Thanks for the great video!

Meg, as usual, is rockin' her hat. Digging potatoes really is like pulling up treasure. I call that 'Idaho-time'. Root Cellar - maybe offer the Rhodes boys a 'deal' (skill exchange, maybe money, IDK.) with their new toys (heavy equipment) to come out and dig one for you. IDK, maybe the twins would be interested in some hands-on as well. In the kitchen, it's clear that Meg is the major-domo. No offense Ben. That meal reminded so much of what I got served (and unconsciously devoured as a kid) from my mother and her mother (Granny, as we called her). No, the tissue to my face is for the summer sweat - No, that's not a tear.

I would recommend you dubbed the size of the potato mounds. It makes for an easier dig. And better water conditions ✅ also a root seller cool dry place to keep the food crops. If you have a high water table then consider a shipping container dug in as deep as possible and not getting to close to the water table. And then cover the container with dirt then you might address rainwater by adding a layer of plastic or something to shield it from water and add much more dirt. The dirt on top is insulation and you could also call it a storm shelter. ✅

Meg I have an incredible mash potato recipe. My Mother in low gave it to me. When you boiled and mashed the potato get some eggs separate the white. Mix yellow into the potato than beat up the white to hard peak and than fold it into the mash. Makes it so light fluffy and very yummy. Hope you like it.

Good job on the didgeridoo lol Once youre done in the potato patch, lime it hard. It will kill anything in the ground. After a week, water it all in & when its time plant all onions in that patch. They will get whatever the lime missed.

I discovered y'all this weekend and love how everyone pitches in. You must have had them when you were very young because you look like you aren't much older than they are.

Potatoes Small White Spots - Lenticels Happily these small white spots on potatoes are not a reason for great concern. They are actually swollen lenticels caused by too much water. Lenticels are minute organs used by the tuber to breathe but in waterlogged soils they become blocked and swell up.

Good to know! I assume this would cause the spoilage then? Because of retained moisture?

It would be nice if you could get a shipping container & build yourself a client controlled unit like "Walker Farm Fam" did. They have a video on how they built it & the type of controller & AC unit they used. They harvest their own pigs & meat like deer etc so they are able to hang it before taking it to be cut up & packaged. They have a forest that sometimes rents it for flower storage on special occasions. Can set the temp to desired temp to store foods for winter etc so they don't freeze in winter or spoil in summer. They really like theirs.
