How to not damage your potatoes during harvest.

[@WhatWeDoChannel]

Thanks for this! The Kennebec I’m growing have a thinner skin too. My trick for storage is canning! I’m going to can the bulk of mine for home fries! Fried eggs, pea meal bacon and home fries, yum!!!!

Thanks for sharing that. Canning is a great way to store them. The meal you're describing sounds absolutely delicious. Thanks again for the great advice, and thanks for watching.

Hey everybody, I hope this saves some damage on your potatoes. I can't believe I'm already harvesting potatoes. Let me know how your garden is doing and thanks for watching.

That clay makes root veggies so difficult to grow. looks good though Jon.

Thanks, all you can do is keep adding organic matter and have patience when it comes to clay soil. Thanks for watching.

So, to keep potatoes long term, you are saying not to wash them? Is that correct?

[@jonbussey5353]

I don't. If there's a really big clod of dirt, I will try to get it off without damaging the potato. I'm going to try to post a video on harvesting them very soon. Thanks for watching.
