Some varieties, such as "Butte" and "Yukon Gold," keep better than others.<br /><br />As for keeping potatoes for seed: the potatoes you buy may carry disease micro-organisms that would compromise your whole crop next year. Best to buy "seed potatoes" in the spring. They cost a bit more, but what you are paying for is a rigorous certification process that guarantees the potatoes to be disease free.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11390765612891201866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178794014474056634.post-79361521876694232432011-10-02T15:26:02.089-04:002011-10-02T15:26:02.089-04:00Hi, nice blog on potatos.

Could you store for long term in a dark place with potatos you bought at the farmers market? Also how would I bring a potato to seed if bought from let's say a farmers market?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191736508962257717noreply@blogger.com
