My Toro Pan minitubers succesfully overwintered, sprouted, and they are pretty little plants now:

Glad to hear Leigh1, it looks good. Last year the small spuds when into a soup skin and all but I save few tiny tubers like a pea in size even smaller and now are sprouting. They look so cute! Good luck this season.

Alas, I am feeling the pain of having plants at a remote location, away from my watchful eye. Tom must have these experiences, too, with some of his material residing in far away places. I am endeavoring to take a "c'est la vie" attitude about the setback. I'll just start some more seed of the effected varieties. Plenty of time, especially to shoot for mini tubers.

Sometimes Tom leaves potatoes in the ground until now. It is a great way to see which ones can be kept that way. In case of things "getting really bad" a guy could have gorilla patches spread all over to hit while travelling yearround.

I think here in the Midwest I'd have to do some pretty heavy mulching or something to hold them in the ground through the winter. But it would be really nice to be able to do it.
