Not shown, I also wrapped my baskets in clear plastic, due to freezing temps and wind.
Instead of one pound per seed potatoe, I will get 6-9 pounds per seed.

I can a lot of veggies as well as freeze them. We are a huge sauce family, so romas are my choice. I also use them for my salsa. I tried the heirlooms, my first choice for stewed tomatoe products with a 25-40% roma mix, but heirlooms by themselves ended up like pat said, very watery.

My personal suggestion would be to get...
