Title: congo mini potato tubers
Post by: tomatoada on August 24, 2012, 12:10:46
Did anyone buy these from T and M?    I bought 10 and planted them in May.  They produced a reasonable amount of top growth.   I dug them up this week but only found a mass of fine roots like tomato plants.  No sign of a crop .

I had Congo mini's a few years ago.. got some small tubers that became bigger tubers the following eyar and have saved since.... Hopefully I'll get a decent crop from them this year, but they are uber uber late cropping and not at all blight tolerant.. Wouldn't expect anythign much under them yet, used to expect to harvest in October or November...

The tops had died down so would they have gone on growing.?

If the tops have died down then they've finished.... odd though....
