This is just an interesting aside to my "River Series" growing adventure. After planting the potatoes that I received from Tom, which are pictured above in this thread, I noticed a little nub of a "chitting" had broken off one of the spuds. This small pointy nub had no roots of any kind but was maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch long so I placed it flat side down in some growing mix and watered. Now, about 12 days later it has sprouted leaves and looks as if it will do fine. I'll have no idea which of the seventeen varieties it is but I will find it an earthly home and see what my results will be.
