Tom:
Here is a report on potato harvest from your sampler.
6 Reiche Tom
4 Lumper Nordic
4 Large Amaj
1 B-RT cross
5 AR
54 Skagit Valley Gold
1 Marcy
2 M -RT cross

Still have some plants to harvest. Cooked the Reiche Tom (in fact, I think I forgot to save 1) and a few of the SVG. Both were excellent, so much better than I expected. The SVG was from 3 plants, 1 having just 4, another with 20 and another just loaded with 30. Some were about the size of a quarter, but most were larger.

I have allowed them to dry. I want to store them. Can I wash them first? And can I keep them in a refrigerator bin, and if not how should I sore them. If I understand it correctly...can I let 1 of each variety sprout when it is time and then plant it. Somehow, all my berries disappeared!

Anyway, it has been a great experience. I thought my granddaughters would get the biggest kick out of it, but actually it has been the adults in my family.

Thanks again, Tom.
