Hello Folks,
I am from Canada and new to this forum.
I lived in Manitoba for a while and used to buy Red potatoes of some kind, they were delicious.
Now I am in Northern BC, about 9 hours north of the U.S. border, a very short growing season.
I tried Norland the first time this summer and am pleased with the results.
But, since I have discovered you, I seek your wisdom.
What would be your recommendation for an early Red Potato?
Many thanks for your time and support.

Murat

if you do Facebook, the Kenosha Potato Project (https://www.facebook.com/groups/316831657858) sometimes has a Canadian Seed Train. My suggestion for anyone in extreme climates is to breed your own custom-selected for your conditions.
