I have friends that live in Smithers, BC, so if you are near that area, I've been there (flew into Prince George, rented a car, drove to the coast and back) - fantastic area of the country!<br /><br />I'd love to know how the washing machine drums work out - interesting way to grow potatoes!

I am located in Northern BC and have been looking at getting more out of my garden. I too tried russian blue potatoes and had problems with the skin but I did enjoy purple mashed potatoes at Christmas that year. The reason I won't plant them again is because they were so darned difficult to find in the soil, they looked just like the rocks. I am trying potatoes this year in repurposed washing machine drums. I planted two varieties of fingerlings so we'll see how it goes. I look forward to reading your blog!morkchicknoreply@blogger.com
