Harvesting Potatoes For Storage And Seed
Potatoes should be harvested near maturity for storage and seed. Delay digging to avoid frost risk until plants die from Late Blight. Dry tubers briefly after digging, discard diseased or misshapen tubers, store 50-60 F for 10–14 days, then 34–38 F with 80–90 percent humidity. Cull diseased hills before digging to prevent seed contamination.
