I do not know were you live but, Here in Ont. Can. we do not dig our potatoes until fall, Sept. or Oct. Our plants have started to die down now, and the potatoes will keep just fine where they are till fall. I store my potatoes in the cellar of our 100 year old farm house, you know the kind. With no heat source, but still not below freezing . The other key to making potatoes store well is, and this is a big one , ventilation. Think of potatoes like you would grain, very high in moisture , and if ventilated they will not heat. But if you put them in a closed, air restricted container , the moisture that they will express will condense and the potatoes will rot. I can keep potatoes through from Oct. till planting time in the spring, around April. Bruce
