    They keep very well in brown paper potato bags stored in a cool area.
    I leave mine in the ground and dig them up as needed.

    And when your back stops aching,
    And your hands begin to harden.
    You will find yourself a partner,
    In the glory of the garden.

      I'm afraid I can't help you as I've dug up all 56 plants and have already eaten them.
      When you have a hammer in your hand everything around you starts looking like a nail.

        Tear up some newspaper.
        Loosely wrap each spud and place in a biscuit tin. When the tin is full, bury it in the back garden.
        Keeps 'em good till at least christmas.
        An old farmer once told me to do that to have new potatoes for christmas dinner!

        I did as he said and burried them at the allotment................they are still there 5 years later as when it was time to dig them up, I couldn't find them!
