Harvesting Irish potatoes

When my grandson received his fifth grade diploma my memory of spring activities were brought to life.  We did not graduate kids in lower grades but we did receive report cards.  As I remember, we would vacation one day while teachers completed their reports,  For us who lived on farms summer work began.

An early job was harvesting Irish potatoes.  Are potatoes being dug now?  We would plow up the potatoes and store them in a cool dark place. One summer we were harvesting the potatoes and it seemed  that the first day of June was hotter than the last day of May.
