are we there yet..? ::) ;D
I wonder what pollinates potatoes, and what we can do to encourage it. Maybe hand pollination would help.
Hi everyone recently joined the site and have read this thread with interest from start to finish and just wanted to say how much much I admire the enthusiasm and dedication those of you have tried growing from TPS have shown.
Well this weekend I'm going to set up the incubator and see whether there's any life in the few TPS I have. I just wonder if Tom Wagner still has his offer of seeds for A4A members of whether anyone has a few seeds to spare so I have a fallback if mine are dead. I worry they were picked too soon, were soaked too long [ one site said soak for 6 days] etc. etc. Guess I'd better get going and find out... ::)
Sorry I'm a bit slow catching up on this thread. Hello and welcome to A4A Tasbound, thank you for your post, I'm glad it was of interest. If you are not already planning to can we tempt you to grow some this year ;D
I found it interesting that no self-pollinated Sarpo Kifli berries formed but nearly every Kifli flower I cross pollinated formed a berry.
These both came from the same 'tattie apple' from a Maris Piper plant. It amazes me that every single seed in the same pod produces a genetically different potato.
