Idaho Sod Roof Potato Barn

Idaho Sod Roof Potato Barn by Daryl L. Hunter - The Hole Picture.
The first time my wife saw a Idaho Sod Roof Potato Barn she naturally enough asked: "What is that?"

I replied: "That there is a potato barn honey. You see, you plant the potatoes there on the roof and potatoes being roots grow right on down to the ceiling, when they get heavy and ripe they just fall off into cold storage.

That is why you never see any shovel marks in them.

Charlene, she was really mad when she found out but now she enjoys pulling the joke on what friends she can and on children.
