It's amazing how much things change in a year. I went from an unemployed student to a happily self-employed farmer (thanks to my generous wife), and I now look forward to the daily commute to the valley. ...yet I am very tired of waiting for this tepid winter to end. Luckily my Ronniger Potato Farm catalog came in the mail, and that prompted me to explore the world of potatoes sprouting in my basement. We have over twenty pounds of Yellow Finn, five pounds of Ozzette Fingerling, and fifteen pounds of Yukon Golds. This represents a significant savings for us and it will allow us to grow more varieties this year. Allyn and I will undoubtedly argue about which varieties we'll order from Ronniger, but I am sure they will include: Mountain Rose, Viking Purple, French Fingerling, Maris Piper, La Ratte fingerling, and All Blue.
