Organic Potato Seed: One Potato, Two Potato, Three Potato—Four

(HIT) - Potatoes are often overlooked as a backyard gardening crop because it’s hard to find interesting seed potato varieties at garden centers. Maine’s Wood Prairie Farm offers 16 different exotic varieties of double-certified organic seed potatoes—everything from All-Blue and Cranberry Red to Rose Gold and the heirloom Russian Banana Fingerling.

The Experimenter’s Special includes your choice of any four varieties, and it provides enough certified seed tubers to plant 12 hills of spuds. The Experimenter’s Special sells for $15.95 from Wood Prairie Farm, 1-800-829-9765, www.woodprairie.com.
