Normally I don’t have problems with potatoes but the grocery store I go to has different people managing the produce section now and since they came on board the produce has gone downhill.

Thanks for the storage tip. Normally when I get home from the store, I immediately wrap everything in paper towels. You would not believe how much longer things last when you do that.

Yes, I do that too for some things. In the fall, I will take some green tomatoes and wrap them in newspaper or paper towels. They ripen slowly and last a long time that way.

I have also taken limbs that have green tomatoes, and flowers on them slashed them off and stuck them in a pot of dirt, and brought them inside. They finish ripening on the vine. Some of the tomato plants will form roots, and continue growing and blooming through the winter.
