Our clay soil doesn’t work well when planting them using post hole diggers. Got to have soil a bit fluffier around here. Keep mounding dirt on the plants as they grow. Our taters are ready. Dug my first plant up yesterday. Don’t dig them up until the plants die. Save some for seed potatoes next year. Build yourself a root cellar up there in West Virginia to store them in. Something tells me you would enjoy that kind of project anyway!
