Thread Name: BS: which potatoes for what...?
Subject: RE: BS: which potatoes for what...?
I heard a story on NPR last week about a South American village that grows crops at 13,000 feet. And they have hundreds of varieties of potatoes there. Of course it originated there. Peru, probably, I'll have to search for the story. I think it was on The World. Global warming is a factor, pests are arriving at the altitudes traditionally free of pests, and they have had to move higher yet to garden.
