The potato starts came from Fedco. I bought early, mid season, and late varieties. Envol, Red Norland, Kennebeck, and Elba.
I thought the brown discoloration inside one was concerning, so I wrapped it up and threw it into the trash.
The others looked OK. Before cutting the others, I sterilized the knife by washing in hot water and soap, and then en with denatured alcohol. I also changed to a new cutting board.
There were some small, sprouting Kennebec potatoes in the garage. I planted the best looking ones 2 days ago.
Last year I planted too many potatoes. It was a challenge digging them, especially with the heat and wildfire smoke. I'm planting about half as many this year.
