| In our experience, the Castile, a.k.a. Beltsville, is a wonderful potato to grow. It grows well and it yields well. It is a good looking potato with oblong, slightly flattened tubers with shallow eyes, white skin, white flesh. It is really a "long-white" potato, a.k.a. the 'California long white'. It is a great general purpose potato. Our problem was that we could not figure out how to keep it in storage till the next year for sale as a seed potato. One can imagine that it would be a wonderful potato for gardens. It was with some reluctance that we stopped growing it. |
