Wifey wanted to grow some potatoes, this is the first year we tried it. We waited until the tops were brown and dead before harvesting. Just got through digging them up and was surprised at how many were rotten. Squishy, nasty, stinky rotten.
Then when we went through what we thought were good ones we found more that were no good (slightly rotten). I'd guess more than half of the spuds were wasted.
We've had decent rain over the growing season, but nothing major. There hasn't been any water laying in the garden. And for the last few weeks it's been very hot.
Any ideas what went wrong?
Thanks,
