Thank You, Any good source suggestions for the purple varieties here in the north? Our local wholesalers did not have any purple types.

Thank You for the Info!

The potatoes that have purple in them:  Caribe, Peruvian Purple, other purple varieties, don't have as many potato beetles - they don't like th purple varieties as much.

 

But for those varieties that do have them,  i pick them off by hand 2 or three times, and then they disappear.  I don't have too many problems with them.
