[AT] garden question; potatoes

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

I can relate to that one, often our late soybeans are barely starting to 
turn yellow when a killing frost comes, stinks pretty bad the next couple 
days, but probably no where near as bad as what you experienced.

Dave, that brings back sad but funny memories of my youth.  After the barn 
burned, we rented around 40 acres to a local truck farmer. He planted 
radishes and onions for an early crop, and then planted the whole farm in 
califlower.  Everything was fine until Indian Summer.  Much of the 
califlower was still in the field when a freeze hit the area.  A few days 
later, summer was back, and the whole farm reeked of rotting califlower. 
Not pleasant.
