I have learned to ask for advice due to the 14 years of mistakes I have made gardening. LOL!!! How many lies will people believe before they realize their own idiocy?

Nothing like Kennebec but better than some other varieties. You get a yellow potato with out the frustration of Yukon Gold. mike

Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor. Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!
