  1. Okay, I've got a "social rules" question:

    I lost to weeds one of my favorite potato varieties (Gunter Blue) that I carried with me from my old house in part because it's no longer for sale. I have a couple of potential avenues to see if I can retrieve it.

    My friend's dad is the breeder, though I know from talking to her that he's not kept all his varieties. It feels like a bit of a shot in the dark, but at least I don't feel uncomfortable contacting my friend.

    The person I sold my previous house to was a neighbor, not close enough that I have his contact info, but not like I'm a total stranger. I would likely need to contact him via my realtor, which feels a bit weird.

    Which of these, if any, seem reasonable?

    If not, are any of you familiar enough with potatoes that you can recommend something similar that does well in the PNW? Bonus points if it's got similarly big, beautiful blossoms.
