Also, are homegrown spuds THAT much better than bought ones?

Well, my grandmother's homegrown potatoes were wonderful-- better than store-bought. She gardened in the midwest. However, potatoes we bought in England in the grocery store were the BEST I have ever tasted--some were locally grown and some were imported. Maybe you get great tasting potates right from the store. We don't in South Florida.
The potatoes I grow in South Florida propably aren't all that much better than store-bought but we really love the THRILL and PURE FUN of digging them up. Tomatoes you see growing--no surprises but with potatoes you are so elated as you dig and reach for one and then another . There always seems to be a few more hidden even when you think you have got them all.
