Thank you both. So NathanP, would it be safe to say most of the seed potatoes that are offered in the USA would be the determinate type?

I didn't think about the daylength sensitive issue or growing in a container...but that's why I asked the questions.

So if I went out into someones garden (not so much commercial farming) would I be able to 'see' the differences or is it all in the genetics?

When I was a kid the potatoes grown in North Dakota seemed to me to be huge plants with all kinds of upper growth. But I was a kid so it might have just seemed that way cuz I was small. The potatoes growing in our Ohio garden don't seem to have that same size. Don't know the variety of them = community garden and some of the gardeners just brought in some potatoes from their store bought kitchen supplies.
