Any suggestions?

Lindalana, I've been growing fingerlings for 10 years and have tried various kinds. I find that fingerlings just produce less than "regular" white potatoes. I've grown both at the same time and the fingerlings always produce a smaller crop. I like them, so I keep growing them. Especially since they are very expensive to buy at the grocery store. Perhaps there is a reason for that. Less production equals higher price.
This will be my third year growing Austrian Crescent and Red Thumb from seeds I saved from the year before. Both are good and I get as good a yield as any other fingerling I've grown.
