I had my first garden potatoes this year. It was just a test plot of 5'
x 4'. For an investment of two seed potatoes, I got two colanders of
potatoes back. The soil is heavy clay, so I lightened it with sand, and
compost, plus the normal soil amendments. Additionally, it is where I
now dump our coffee grounds (including filters). The area gets less sun
than the rest of my garden area but I 'm pleased with this first effort.
The potatoes (German Butterball) were in all sizes. The smallest
potatoes went into a stew, minutes after harvesting.

I'd appreciate suggestions on other potatoe varieties, not that I'm
unhappy with the Butterballs, but I'm curious as to what other people
like and why.
