I love growing potatoes - and especially love the potatoes that grow down the back where I only threw potato peelings! I swear!! I will pop over to your blog shortly!

I'm a potato fan, too, and I've settled for a few favorites now. We especially love blue varieties. Your experience with pre--nuclear seed potatoes makes me think I should grow out some of my potato seeds to see what comes of them. Have been thinking about developing a "Hofsorte" unique to our garden for several years.

Thanks for this “rabbit hole.” I’ve got my seed catalogs on my table for reviewing this weekend. Just what I needed as I start planning my 26 garden. 🪏

Thanks so much, Lori! I’ll be reviewing all my seeds this weekend too, and finally winter sowing a bunch of them. I’m really looking forward to spring. 🥰
