I am trying potatos for the first time. I planted three types - Yukon Gold, Pontiac Red and Kennebec. I have an area where I have been dumping leaves for years and it has composted well. I dug trenches about a foot deep and planted the pieces about 4 inches deep below the bottom of the trench. I have been adding soil and now the mounds are about 4 inches high. I planted back in mid-May and everything seems to be doing well. I may try some blue variety next year. Anyone have suggestions on blue varieties that keep well?
