How long can I keep seed potatoes?
I ordered some seed potatoes from Seed Saver Exchange, and they are beautiful...but the containers I have suggest only 4 seed potatoes per pot. Sooo....I have maybe more than I can use. It says you can start another crop as late as June to get a later harvest...so I could order some more grow bags to use some up...if the seed potatoes will keep that long. Anyone know how long they keep? I also plan on sharing some with my grandmother and mother, but I think we will still have too much.
I got 3 varieties  Ozettes German Butterball and Red Potatoes! |

Late reply, but just found this site.
Seed potatoes often keep a bit if you keep them cool and dark at a stable temperature. I don't think I would try to keep them a year, but a couple months may well be more than possible. Lucky you- I forgot to order the Ozettes early enough and they were out! |
