Because of the constant rains and more predicted we decided to harvest the potatoes yesterday. I made a potato spade to go on the diesel Wheel Horse and it does a nice job of turning up the spuds. We haven't had rain for a couple of days so the soil was just barely dry enough. We ended up with a nice batch of both Red's and Yukon Golds. Thought of Noel and how thankful I am that we didn't have an insect problem.
Photos of the harvest in the Spud truck before and after washing. The bed and the tail gate are raised a little and then the spuds are washed. Then they are spread out on sheets of cardboard to dry before being stored in a cooled room.
