A seed potato is simply a potato with an eye that will germinate and reproduce. It's just a potato. Harvest potatoes in the fall or spring, store in a cool, dry place to use for cooking as required, and set a few aside to use as seed for the next year.

There isn't any special potato called a seed potato. All potatoes are potentially seed potatoes, if they have an eye.

On butterbeans~~

After much digging around online, I can report this: butterbeans and limas are close relatives, but not the same beans. Butterbeans are also known as sievas or Carolina beans. Clemson has seeds!

“There isn’t any special potato called a seed potato.”

I know that, but I don’t think potatoes can remain good (without rotting) between fall and spring. Are you keeping them alive during that time with just being in a cool, dry place? Since I don’t believe it, I will buy some potatoes next month and see if they last until time for planting them in spring.
