How important is it to start with certified seed for the backyard grower? On the one hand it would sure be nice to plant the spuds I grew last year and save on seed costs. On the other hand, I don't want to inadvertently spread disease and contaminate my garden.
Last year I tried a half dozen new varieties. My favorite was Yellow Finn. This year I can either order new Yellow Finn seed potatoes, or I can hold back 5# of them from the root cellar. What do you think? |
