Hi all just a followup on the Purple Peruvian Potato. Since my last post they have recieved a lot of attention.
I have been recieving emails from all over the world regarding this odd spud.
After a few attempts on Google I have since found that they are also named the ‘Purple Congo’
If you are interested in purchasing some potatoes of this variety see this link http://www.thelostseed.com.au/userimages/procart77.htm
I also was asked by gourmet.com for use of the image from America: http://www.gourmet.com/food/2009/04/gardening-101-potato-people
It is so exciting to see so much interest in such a weird and wonderful variety of potatoe.
Happy Gardening.
