[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1043151, member: 9267"] How long you been storing them for? I harvested mine in April, a couple going a bit wrinkly and they're all sprouting but otherwise perfectly edible. If I hadn't just moved house I would be getting new crop about November and the ones I've got should be good for that long. They're in the bottom of a dark cupboard, in cardboard boxes. If you want a shed you build one, I wouldn't do it just for potatoes. You need one anyway, to store your garden tools and for a potting bench and painting projects and stacking cow mineral and feed. Don't know if it'd work in a colder climate - I planted mine in autumn the last two years, with turnip seed. The turnips keep the frost off them, so the plants are already mature in early spring. Pulling the turnips out was a chore though, and not improved by the cows standing at the fence ordering me to hurry up and get those turnips greens on their side. [/QUOTE]
