I planted my potatoes yesterday. DH made me rows with the tractor pulled potato planter and I planted the seed tubers by hand to the rows. I had 12 varieties, and only few potatoes of the last year's TPS spuds, so dropping by the machine would had been difficult. I got about 90 meters of potato rows and the spuds about a foot apart.

Varieties are:
Lapin Puikula
Blue Congo
Peruvian Purple
Unknown big bakers (sprouted potatoes from grocery store and no variety was marked)
Wagner's Yellow (2008 TPS)
Wagner's Red (2008 TPS)
Wagner's Purple (2008 TPS)
Wagner's Amethyst (2008 TPS)
Wagner #1-2009 (2009 TPS)
Wagner #2-2009 (2009 TPS)
Potato Dance yellow (2009 TPS)
Potato Dance red (2009 TPS)

I had to give names to the 2008 TPS potatoes, so I named them with the seed source and color of the potato, so I know them better when they start to grow.
