Potato storage - keep them cool. Garages can be very warm. Dig a small pit storage 3-4 foot deep and cover with old carpet and grass/sod.
When are potatoes ripe? - when they usually flower or the plant collapses. Reds - August. Yellow Finn or Russett as late as October. Just dig a hill to see how big they are.
