    Re: potato field

    Hello Antonio,

    Very informative link on potatoes.

    I have grown several of the named varieties, finding Yukon Gold and Desiree to be most productive and with good storage ability.

    Several Yukon gardeners have managed to store our own potatoes and next year's seed successfully in a simple cold room.

    We even have one local producer who is successful on the commercial scale, supplying our corporate grocery stores with locally grown product.

    Our short frost free growing season is the greatest challenge some years.

    Regards,

    labelwench

    Re: potato field

    Thanks. I will start planting some this Spring. But I was more concern about finding seeds for soybean to start my first pilot organic vegetable garden that is only 5 feet by 10 feet in plot size.

    Re: potato field

    Maybe because it is shrouded in London fogs keeping it juicy and moist all planting season long till harvest time? Nothing seems to grow well in the dry and hot seasons of Texas.

    Re: potato field

    High latitudes temperatures might just be the key factors.

    manure.
