Thanks Bill,
I do recall many folks in our garden club saying they too loved Yukon
Gold. We have a local feed store that sells this seed potato. I'll be
sure to get some then; can't have too many potatoes. (Still reading
up on making a spud cellar.)
The other potatoes I have coming (minitubers) are Yellow Finn
(someone said it was a parent of Yukon Gold-?) Caribe, Nooksack,
Peanut, Red Gold, Redsen and All Blue. Figure it will feed my big
potato eating family for some months, some for seed, and some to
share with friends.
Anyone know if we have problems with Colorado potato beetles here in
the Pacific NW ? or any other potato pests ? Years ago (old
home-PNW) we would get tiny pin size worms that would dig into the
potato flesh (Russets) about 1/4 inch deep. Can anyone tell me what
those might have been ?
Sincerely,
