<<Potatoes or Turnips Prior to the introduction of the potato the tuber of choice was the turnip. Turnips have never sold for their weight in gold, but they do travel well and they would have loved the Yukon.

yes, you need coffee shops if you want to save the city. But what about fritz freling and his atomic earth boring death ray? As far as potatoes loving the yukon, let me inform you. Everything grows well in the yukon and to gigantic size. The reason is the short season is more than offset by the direct rays of the sun on the mountains and the very long days. 200 pound cabbages maturing in 3 weeks are not uncommon. The common yaller potater, called the yukon gold, was grown first in ontario. It has a yellow colour which is considered a commercial drawback, it was grown to be disease resistant. EC<:-}
