| 4th year growing French Fingerlings. Found it's best to fire kill plants once tubers are mature to assure timely hardening off. Properly hardened off tubers are beautiful shiny rose color and keep extremely well refrigerated until April/May. The plants are large and rangy and therefore require a more space than other fingerlings. Weeding is a must, since the plants do not produce a dense canopy to supress weed growth. Our 2007 yield was 13lbs per 1lbs of seed tuber in ground 4/22/07 in the Philadelphia PA area. Inconsistent moisture and PH higher than 6.5 caused poor scabby yield our first year. Will try plastic sheet mulch to suppress weed and drip tape to maximize moisture consistency and minimize scab. Excellent taste. Creamy, with complex earthy taste.... delicious. Excellent pan roasted in olive oil with garlic until creamy. Sold 250lbs in farmer's market in 4 weeks. |

| These didn't have real fertile ground, and competed with weeds, so take that into account when looking at my ratings. But I got a decent crop and they were good and mid august is when I started digging them. I will try and again and do better for them. I think they will reward the better treatment. |
