| I have been growing potatoes in trials for survival type living and Peruvian like the fingerlings genus does remarkably well in extreme conditions which turns varieties like Lumpers into marble sized potatoes.
This variety took high heat, drought and some insect and produced a crop.
It would be wonderful to trial it like others in areas where rains produced plants that sprawled, but this one impressed me and I look forward to future years with it.......I can do that because it survived the bad year to give me seed for the future. Most varieties won't do that. |

| Yield and vigor was great, but its texture is a little mealy. Allow plenty of room for this one. It sends runners around like crazy. This didn't keep very well and should be used soon after picking. |

| This variety appears to be the most adapted to this climate of all potatoes that I have grown. They overwinter well and are very disease and insect resistant. The vigorous vines have the potential to become a weed. They go into dormancy late October to early November. The earlier they are planted, the larger the crop. We plant them as soon as the ground can be worked. The plants should be hilled as the tubers often poke out of the ground. Tubers range in size, but are often 4-8 inches long. Not bland and tasteless like a lot of potatoes, they are good boiled, baked, or fried. |

| This variety produced the most potatoes by far, than the other heirloom varieties I planted. The taste is somewhat similar to a regular store potato but is a very beautiful color. Looks good mixed with other colored heirlooms fried up in a pan. |
