| Me har masse potet i hagen i [[2014|år]]. Til haust og jul i fjor fekk me store lass frå fjern og nær, og klarte ikkje eta alt med ein gong. Så begynte dei å få lange groer som sette seg fast i striesekken, og me syntest at alle fortente ein sjanse. Det blei veldig mange potetplantar. | Me har masse potet i hagen i [[2014|år]].

| + | > Wait until late in the season and take only what you need, carefully resetting the plant so the smaller tubers have a chance to mature. [...] For winter storage, it’s best to let the plant and the weather tell you when to harvest potatoes. Wait until the tops of the vines have died before you begin harvesting. Potatoes are tubers and you want your plant to store as much of that flavorful starch as possible.

| > If you prefer to store your taters, you should wait 2-4 weeks after the plants have died back to harvest, to toughen them up a bit. When you see that the plants have mostly died back, stop watering altogether to prevent rot or re-sprouting of your crop. Since the potatoes are now finished growing, there is no longer any need for water and leaving them in-ground for a couple of weeks extra allows the tubers to develop a thicker, stronger skin, which is needed for safe storage to protect them from rot or disease. If you have a very late crop, you can start the process and harden them off before the plants die back by cutting down the stems and foliage and stop watering.
