26+ pounds of Adirondack Reds from 15 seeds
They are a very nice tater, hi in phytochemicals, mash to creamy, creamy smooth.
Yesterday I got about 11 pounds of Purple Majestics from Colorado, also from 15 seeds. Actually, they sent me 30 seeds, but only 15 produced eyes. Also high in phytochemicals. Deep purple skins with a surprising bright turquoise flesh! I made mashed taters with a couple yesterday. They held their color, so were a lovely muted turqoise with bits of bright purple skin. They mash creamy smooth and mmmm...mmmm...mmmm
A few minutes ago I was weighing the reds and several rolled off the counter into the dog's water dish! GAAAAH!!!! My recently cleaned kitchen floor was coated with loam and water
I had to finish putting up the taters, so tracked it all over the floor! Sigh. Just finished re-mopping. Now I can't go in the kitchen...
I towel dried and set aside the wet taters. I'll have to keep an eye and use them up first. Maybe I'll see how they fry
dam I luvs me some taters....
