					<description><![CDATA[Allow us to read you into a three year garden saga! Two seasons ago, we experienced a catastrophic failure of our potato crop. We performed autopsies on the losses, expecting blight. As best we could tell, though, the evidence led us down an entirely unexpected path. Ultimately, we concluded that we experienced industrial contamination, caused [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve wrapped up another big harvest here, potatoes! So, let&#8217;s talk about what we do to prepare those potatoes for long term storage! Just like with our onions, potatoes need to go through a curing process. It&#8217;s essentially identical, where we lay the potatoes out in a single layer and allow them to dry for [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Happy New Year, everyone! We are excited about 2025 and are kicking it off with a great harvest related project! As you all know, your home grown potatoes aren&#8217;t going to last forever. Even if you have a proper root cellar, which we don&#8217;t. So, before they spoil and start growing those alien eyes, it&#8217;s [&#8230;]]]></description>

We figured it might be helpful to share what we do for potato storage as we think a lot of people make it more complicated than it needs to be.

Potatoes were one of those crops that we avoided growing in our early gardening practice. They are super cheap to buy at the grocer, so why put our valuable efforts into growing such an invaluable crop? Well, we&#8217;ll tell [&#8230;]]]></description>

If you&#8217;re planting &#8220;whole&#8221; seed potatoes, there&#8217;s pretty much nothing you have to do. Just throw the seed potato in the ground and up will come a potato plant. The orientation you plant them in really doesn&#8217;t matter. The plant knows which way [&#8230;]]]></description>

We are pretty sure our potatoes got hit with early blight and it&#8217;s going to severely impact our harvest this year. It&#8217;s important for us to show our failures, as even experienced growers can experience serious troubles. Interesting fact? [&#8230;]]]></description>
