I just ordered Goldrush Russet,Kennebec, Georgia Jet Sweet, Yukon Gold, Red Pontiac from www.eburgess.com earlier this week I didnt check on the blue but its worth a shot! hope you find some!
I've decided to just wait till next year and order earlier. Burgess seems to have Blues but for $3.99 worth of potatoes they want $10 s&H....I don't think so! lol
We'll have plenty of other suff this year, I'm sure the DGD won't even miss the colored potatoes.
Thanks any way guys!

setter4--Do you have any good organic stores by you? I say organic since they wouldn't have been treated to not sprout. If you do and they carry blue potatoes, you can use them. AFAIK, there would not be a difference between organic eating potatoes and organic seed potatoes. After all, that's how people have been planting potatoes for millenia!

I bought some organic Russian fingerlings last year at the grocery store last year. They started sprouting before I could eat them, so I popped them in the ground.
They grew very well.
