Storage Potato
Hi all!
I am very new to this forum but am learning so much already.
I planted Yukon Gold last year and put up about 60+ pounds for storage. I put them in burlap bags and put them in my unfinished, unheated basement. (Stays cool but not freezing.) After a few months, they started sprouting and then got soft. I had to throw away about 1/2 of them. The catalogs say they are good storage potatoes but I didn't find that to be true. Did I store them incorrectly (this was my first time trying it and followed a friends advice), or is this variety not the best for storage. Which is the best for storage?
Thanks,
Kim
