This weekend way up north we're planting Russian Fingerlings from Johnnyseeds.com and leftover potatoes which we grew last year- they made it all the way through our five months of snow.
Thanks for the recommendation. I tried a couple of online seed sites and they were out of stock. I have 5 pounds of Dark Red Norlands on the way now. I'll have to find some tires now.

I don't use Johnnyseeds.com anymore. They tend to deal in hybrid varieties, which are poor choices for seed saving. You sometimes end up with sterile seeds in the next generation or plants whose traits don't hold up well. I think it's better to try local, organic heirloom seeds.
