Those are really nice potatoes. I'm going to grow some of the Evangeline
next year. It's one of the latest releases and it's getting rave reviews on taste.
I've been growing Covington for the last three years and they are a great producer. I'm reading that Covington is the main variety grown by the big growers. Beauregard was the main one. I'm also going to grow Garnet, same as Red Garnet and Diane. I got to eat some this year. They have dark dark orange meat and smooth and real sweet "Delicious". The picture of the Evangeline had a lot of small ones. Do you think if you had given them a couple more weeks a lot of those would have been bigger??
I'm attaching a couple of picture, I got 4000 lbs of this patch, for my neighborhood vegetable stand. Irrigation and 90+ degrees for 90 days this summer really made them produce. I'm in mid Georgia.
