Re: Second generation
I would never save spuds-probably because I`m no expert in growing them but more so the risk of disease.Re: Second generation
My grandparents saved seeds and had a nice productive garden. The plants were adapted to the local climate and had been vigorous and well tended, so the offspring were strong and healthy. In those days there weren't the many places to order seeds from, and money was tight in the Great Depression, so it made sense. Less so today of course, but I see no real reason not to save seed if, as OG says, you know what you are doing.Re: Second generation
We save runner bean seeds and every couple of years introduce 'new blood' with some seed from another source. So far so good, not bought runner seeds for 10 yearsRe: Second generation
and they STILL produce spuds that fall apart when gently boiled.Re: Second generation
Growing potatoes is like any other vegitable growing, an art.Re: Second generation
