Hi Catherine,
Thanks for the tip. I think I'll try some, if I can find some seed potatos. My
family likes that almost buttery flavor and the color is appealing too.
I planted Kennebec(white) and Lasoda(red). The Kennebec has very few eyes. It
also seems to be a low yield potato. I got back about 3lbs for every 1lb that I
planted. The Lasoda on the other hand has many eyes and is a high yield potato. I
got back 35lbs for every lb planted. The Lasodas made 500lbs plus. Most of the
Lasodas were as large as a softball.
