How about digging potatoes a few days after it rains?

It's a good idea to dig potatoes a few days after it rains.

In the days after rain, the soil usually becomes wet, which makes it more difficult to dig potatoes, because wet soil may make potatoes muddy and difficult to clean. In addition, wet potatoes are more perishable, so they may be more difficult to store.

However, when the soil is drier, it is easier to dig potatoes and potatoes are easier to store. Therefore, it is a good idea to wait until the soil is dry a few days after the rain before digging potatoes. This usually takes 3 days or more, depending on rainfall and soil type.

In addition, if your potatoes are ripe and need to be harvested immediately, it is best to dig potatoes when the weather is dry, so as to reduce the risk of potatoes getting wet by rain.
