The truth is I bought a home built with solidarity in mind, and wanted to grow most if not all of our own food. Potatoes are a great base to a healthy diet. I ran into some pictures on the net of some REALLY CRAZY looking potatoes (just google native peruvian potatoes)and said to myself 'I want potatoes like those!'. Well to get potatoes like those you must risk smuggling them from Peru.......or grow them from TPS sourced thru other breeders like Tom Wagner, or government gene banks. Basically now I have potatoes that taste better, are better for you, and last but not least my childish nature must shout 'TO HAVE COOLER POTATOES THAN THE STUPID ONES YOU GROW'. How is that for an answer?
