I’m currently overwintering the potato Ecos Purple from Oikos up here in southern Maine. It’s supposed to withstand -25 degrees fahrenheit and frozen solid soils. We’ll see how it does. http://www.oikostreecrops.com/store/product.asp?P_ID=280&strPageHistory=search&strKeywords=potato&numPageStartPosition=1&strSearchCriteria=any&PT_ID=80

Hey, thanks for the link, Greg – what a cool site! I look forward to hearing how the potato performs for you.

The spotted Romaine is quite a temptation, too bad grocery stores don’t sell such fun ‘greens’.

These are so pretty that you don’t even have to think of them as vegetables. Consider them as multi-purpose annuals instead!

Maybe that’s why I find the spots unsettling. I’ve been noticing a few holes in my lettuce leaves of late. Hmmm. will definitely be on the look out for those slime buckets! Sorry, I have a hard time adopting a “christian” attitude towards slugs-though I have learned to differentiate between the natives, they get to live in peace, and the European imports, they don’t.
