Farmer Rob harvested the sweet potatoes in the kitchen garden one month earlier than last year's harvest. He wants to use the late-August heat to cure the potatoes outside (for better storage), rather than heating and drying the potatoes inside. An earlier harvest will also mean fewer giant potatoes, which are often less tasty.
Rob says some of this year's potatoes split or burst, likely a result of prolonged dry weather followed by bouts of wet. But overall he's happy with the season's potato haul.
