We just ordered French Fingerling seed potatoes from Hoss Tools. First time buying seed potatoes from them, so we’ll see how it goes. Typically, we grow Norland and Yukon Gold. But, we are adding the fingerlings and russet potatoes to the garden this coming year. I would suggest checking the Texas A&M online vegetable variety selector to see which ones would work best for you in the panhandle.

Thanks, I hadn’t thought to check with them.

I get them from a local family run garden center around here. There’s probably something similar around you.

[BuffaloGal]

Thanks. I will see what I can find.

Ordered from Wood Prairie Family Farm this year after watching a video about them on Off Grid with Doug and Stacy. https://www.woodprairie.com/

I buy mine from local hardware/feed store. We usually buy 50 pound bags runs around 28 dollars, but we plant alot.

We grow a lot of reds for the stews and pot roast recipes. The Yukons and Russerts are for baking and we we have our own starts mostly. We will start them late Jan. Or Early Feb. Also do our Sweet Taters the same way. Green houses are great.

We plant the Red Norlands and Kennebec as our determinate varieties and Red Pontiacs and our Indeterminate variety. Unless its something unique we want to try all our seed potatoes are bought at our local Farm store in 50 pound bags for a fraction of the cost per pound in seed catalogs.

Thank you. I like that idea. I will check it out.

[BuffaloGal]

I appreciate all of the replies. They help so much.

We get ours at the feed and seed store closest to us. We save any that have eyes before we can them and use them for a mid season planting.

I ordered mine from Hoss Tools. They actually still had some. So many other places were out. They are reasonably priced. They start shipping in late January. Hoping they will get here in time for me to plant in February. Good luck with yours. Be safe and Love well.

We have had kennbec for years. That is what grows the best in the area that we live in. When you plant them plant at least 1 more row that way you can save your seed. We just rotate them in between our 2 gardens. We have had the same taters for at least 5 years now and still doing great.

We buy potatoes to plant from our local fed /farm store (MFA). Last year I paid 50 cents/ pound. Most mail order potatoes cost $5.00 /pound.

When I was younger we used to store our potatoes in a container in the ground. We built waterproof boxes and even buried a few old refrigerators to store them. We would bury the box/refrig to lid level and put in a layer of straw, then taters and so on to the top. We would cover the box with a tarp and get potatoes from it all winter. In the spring we always had seed potatoes left over for the next crop.
