Hello,

I'm trying to decided which potato varieties to grow this year and could use your help in narrowing down my choices.

My local nursery just came out with their seed potatoes and I was hoping to get some feedback from those who may have grown some of them. They are:

AC Chaleur
All Blue
All Red
Cherokee
Granola
Irish Cobbler
Kennebec
Norland
Red Chieftan
Red Pontiac
Russet Burbank
Shepody
Spunta
Superior
Yukon Gold

I'm looking to grow 2 - 3 varieties with the following caveats:

I have to grow a red-skinned potato for my father-in-law.
I grew Norland and Yukon Gold last year and want to try something new (All Red looks neat).
I would like to have a high yield in my northern, short growing season.

Thanks!

Kathy
