I love that I can order a “foursum” which is just four potatos so I can try lots of varieties in my small garden. My favorite is the french fingerling, so good just steamed up and eaten right out of the pot!

Can definitely recommend doing business with them – also if you live far away from Alberta like we do in Ontario.

Andrea – fantastic. I’m so happy these guys exist.

I was thinking this year I would just head to the local feed and seed and get yukons or kennebecs, but not now :)

I’m currently convincing my mother that our garden is large enough to hold a couple more varieties :)

Mike – I know, I was making a mental note too. Have to be mindful of watering if necessary in that week or two I guess.
Ryan – I hear ya. I always try a couple new ones for fun, but lean heavily on the French Fingerlings. I know folks in Ontario who buy seed from them, so I felt lucky to be able to drive there to hit them up for a visit.

It’s wonderful to have such a variety to choose from, albeit a bit difficult to keep from returning to a few of the more exceptional varieties (e.g. German Butterball and French Fingerling!). Truly a gem of a resource for Alberta gardeners.

Great video. That Lindzer Deleketess looks and sounds like an excellent variety.
