Yes it is very exciting, we love red potatoes. I think what I like the most is the seed we get to plant next year. I just love how this cycle rejuvenates itself every year.
I like growing the potatoes in bags vs in the garden. I know we got 100% of the potatoes that we planted in the bags. I cannot say the same about the garden.
I do agree that traditional gardening takes a lot more work. Personally, I prefer the grow bags. One might say, "wouldn't buying potatoes be the easiest option out of it all?" Yes, but, homegrown potatoes are way more delicious.
When the truckers quite delivering because of the dangers of society. You will be so blessed that you can grow your own food. It looks like you also have a good crew to help you. The things those kids are learning will help many in the future..good going guys..
I really appreciate your experimenting and sharing with us your findings. (side note: I love wearing Hawaiian shirts also, obviously you have good taste )
We have had potatoes go until March, they will be a little wrinkled but are still usable. However this all depends on one keeping them in a dark and cool area. We will keep around 40 lbs of these potatoes for next year's planting.
What part of Arizona are you in and where on your property do you store your potatoes? I am in southwest Arizona (tristate desert area) and wondering where I would store. Thinking it may be too hot here.
Northern AZ 5400 feet above see level, so a little cooler then where you live, I store my potatoes in a back room of my house where there is no sun light where the temperature stays around 72 degrees, in the winter it does get down to 64 degrees. I would love to have them cooler but that is what I have. The key is no light, then temperature. Ideally a root cellar would be best. If I lived in the desert of AZ I would experiment with burying a 55 gallon drum and then layer my potatoes with straw. I am even thinking of trying this myself up on the mountain so I can get cooler temps. Hope this helps and good luck to you.

So exciting to harvest all of that! I bet you feel wonderful having all that stored up to feed your family through the winter

We will see next year when the volunteer potatoes start to grow.

It was sure fun to share this info.
How long of a shelf life do the potatoes have?
