Description
Scrumptious potatoes with thin red skin, shallow eyes and sweet white flesh.
One of the most popular red all-purpose potato with very sweet, white flesh. Thin skin makes a great "new" potato. Keeps well after harvest if you don't wash the dirt off them and store in dark, cool place.
Days To Maturity: 80 days
sow: 4-5" deep with eyes pointing upward.
Season: spring or fall. personally I plant april 1st.

What are the cons? no real cons that I came across.
Review:I go to the feed stores in early spring and buy a 50 pounds sack of seed potatoes, cut each one into half’s or thirds as long as each piece has an eye on it, let them sit on counter for a week to build a scab over the raw exposed areas from cutting, then go plant. Generally 50 pounds will net you about 80-100 pounds back in potatoes that will last you rest of the year. Can’t beat it.
