Dr. Egon Spengler: Excuse me, this is private property. Walter Peck : [ after observing the storage facility ] Shut this off, shut these all off.
Harvesting Potatoes For Storage. Harvesting potatoes used for winter storage should not be done until after the potato plants have flowered and the vines die off. Potatoes may be left in the ground to extract as much energy from the vines as possible as long as the soil does not freeze.
You need to cover the plant with more earth, about 1/2 way up the plant, then when the plant doubles in size do that again. Then in the late fall, you can start to harvest potatoes, after a light frost, or you can wait until the green tops die off completely and get mature potatoes. I grow them in Massachusetts, but I am guessing the same applies else where.
