Confused about potato storage
Zone 9a (UK).
So I planted some “first early” Desiree potatoes in late winter, and they’re now maturing late spring/early summer. They’re fully formed beyond new potato size and about the size I’d expect from a supermarket bag
All I can find online is to store after the first frost - thats 5 months away so won’t be happening soon. Can I harvest and store these? Should I leave them in the soil and aim to use them over the next month or so?Ideally I’d like to pop some more in for a late catch harvest.
