Be prepared - grow a nice patch of potatoes




No North Korean EMP blast can starve you out if you've got potatoes.

  1. Nice mix of potatos there!

    In W.Australia they used to have a "Potato Marketing Board" which regulated what potatos a farmer could grow & sell. I tried to buy some big Idahos for baking, to go with some steaks, but no one could sell them to me. Only certain restaurants had them, & they wouldn't sell me any either for fear I was an undercover potato buyer who'd report them (true story!)

    Thankfully, the farmers protested, the people joined in, and finally the PMB was disbanded. I'll bet you still can't find that variety of potatos there though!

  2. I haven't been able to buy Cliffs' Kidneys or Russets or half-a-dozen other varieties for decades.
