from the purple peruvians. I run out of steam on building up the mounds, so I don't know if that makes a difference.

I'm satisfied with it, though. I'll have about 70 pounds of home growns this year, the rest being Adirondack reds and Purple Majesty from Colorado.

Next year it will be Adirondack Reds and Adirondack Blues, so I'll have 3 different colors.
