As why I have been so quiet on this forum, the list that follows shows the selection work that goes into pre-planting potatoes. This list shows varieties going to one test plot of a cooperator. Each variety is represented by a single tuber to allow the plot to be in a small garden as opposed to my personal plots of many tubers per. In order to get compensation up-front for such a test, I settled on $2 a tuber.
I will let folks know how these do for the cooperator later in the year.

This is a great sample and a beautiful idea. I know we wil have tps and end up with something kind of similar, but having the luxury to put our hands on them before planting and see them upfront would be so cool.
