I know some do & some don't but how many of you let your potatoes scale over before you plant. If so how long. Fours years out here in the country & only one good year for potatoes. That was the first year & my wife cut the spuds & planted right away, bountiful harvest. Last year I planted twice & they rotted. This year planted three 40' rows & only a few have came up. I dug up a few places yesterday & found they've rotted again. The only thing different we've done is the three times planted with rot we let them scale over a couple of days before planting. Before we moved out here it had been 30 plus years of no garden because of living in the city. We were so excited the first year we actually forgot about letting them scale over before planting. Each year it's been different places we planted. Let me know what you do.
