“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.

I regularly keep potatoes for 6 or 8 months without them rotting. They can't be in plastic because they have to have air. The last pototoes that I planted had shriveled and had an inch or two of growth on the eyes, but they hadn't rotted.
