When do potatoes need to be dug up? I don’t want ours to rot
You can dig down to get early ones or wait until the plant turns brown to let the skins get tough. I have never had any rot, but the ground freezes here and if they freeze they turn to mush. They store pretty well if you don’t wash them and keep them in a cardboard box in a dark, cool area. I sometimes keep some over the entire winter to plant in the spring.
