Overall Taste Yield Ease	Richmond, Georgia, United States Frost Free Season: 183 - 203 days Soil Texture: Sand Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
Heavy yielding variety with with rampant vines. Vines do blossom, but not as profusely as Covington. Roots tend to run to Jumbo size. I prefer a larger number of baking size potatoes.
