- True Potato Seeds - TPS - Start to Finish.
This video will cover TPS from 3 parts of the world, from seeding thru harvest. There are a few more vids in this series and here are the links.
How to extract the seeds from the berry - • #TPS True Potato Seed ...
What are TPS and what they look like - • #TPS True Potato Seed ...
Here is Alex from Grow and Tell's video on the genetics of potatoes, highly interesting to me!! - • #TPS True Potato Seed ...
My spud idol is Torp Tomaten. She is amazingly knowledgable on the genetics, characteristics, breeding principles, hand pollenating and everything TPS. Love you Torp, thank you for sharing your knowledge:)) Her is her channel - / @torptomaten3981
Big thanks to Alex and Nick for sending the TPS, this was a very fun experiment! Now to see if they can be over wintered and I'll be a happy guy:))

Hey folks, I planted all of the potatoes that I harvested from this experiment this Spring. I will link that vid at the end. I will be doing the second year harvest very soon, and will have that vid linked as soon as I do!! Thank you for watching, feel free to subscribe if you love growing:)))
Have you tried crossing potatoes with tomatoes and tomatoes with potatoes ? It would be interesting to see if the seeds of the tomatoes crossed with potatoes actually would give tubers with edible fruit.
@@somethingboutgardening9532 i dont think its genetically possible. they are different species but do share the same family and genus
@@somethingboutgardening9532 You can graft a tomato onto a potato though, and it will grow both spuds in the ground and tomatoes above ground!
Nature is so amazing. The amount of food you get for a tiny grain sized seed. And you get a new variety of potato. Brilliant stuff. I am going to try this next year after I get my berries this year. I missed it last year as I had no idea what the hell they were lol.
It truly is amazing!! I wish you the best of luck, my guess is you are going to love the experiment:))))
I have 3 but to much heat it rejected them soo im waiting for the next set of flowers.
@@thesilentone4024not because of the heat, but because it is a hybrid variety
I just planted potatoes for the first time this year in my 10x20 city yard. I used seed potatoes. Then! Gasp! What is this thing growing? A tomatoes? Enter: your video! OMG I got seeds! Woot! Can't wait. LOVE your enthusiasm. Lol I could watch you do just about anything. Thanks for sharing!
Happy to hear there is another spud lover in the house!!! Lol, you are too kind! Have a wonderful day:))
I ❤ this!!! For almost 3 years now I've been experimenting with growing food from store bought produce. I planted some sprouted store bought potatoes, grew them on, harvested them. Yield was not impressive. I selected the best potatoes from those to be used as seed potatoes for the next round and they have absolutely taken off! I now have TSP berries forming (didn't get any with the first crop) which I'm going to grow on to see what I get😁 I've also been experimenting with scooping the eyes out of potatoes I eat and growing those on. Just started that experiment at Christmas and so far 100% of the scooped potato eyes I popped into the dirt and put on the windowsill have grown on and are beginning to leaf out. I've been gardening for decades but never grown potatoes from TPS mostly because the 'establishment' discourages it but I'm super excited to try😁
Awww, thank you. I love spud experiments! So happy for you, sounds like you are well on your way to creating your own variety!!! Your spud eye trial is similar to my friend Steve at digwell greenfingers. He haas a great series I recommend. Also, a Swedish friend has some crazy TPS vids!! Her channel is Torp Tomaten. Check them out and stay in touch with how yours do!!!
@@Mrsnufleupagus Thank you for the great channel recommendations! I'm having lots of fun experimenting, as it should be😁👍
This spuds for you--awesome. Thank you for posting this. I just ordered potato seeds online and look forward to the experience, based solely on your enthusiasm. thanks again...
Thank you!! I hope they do well for you:))
This is literally the only video i have found that actually starts from seed and not from seed potatoes somemore info on why my potatoes produce seed pods and how/when to plant actual potatoe seeds rather than sets or seed potatoes would be great and im sure it would pick up some traction on the youtube algorithm
Of course I'm watching my favourite Canadian gardener ;) I was looking forward to your TPS video all summer long! What a great harvest!
First quick advice on storage is to eat all the small marble sized ones. Now. The gardener deserves a little meal for all the work and they would not keep anyways.
There also is a small chance that tps grown potatoes might contain levels of solanine that are no good - those taste bitter and should not be eaten. So far I only had 1 bitter one ever, the risk is small, but better check now before keeping them and growing X plants of it next year.
The seed potatoes for the storage I pack into paper bags as they are (unwashed), label the bag and place them in a cool dark area. Garage, cellar, shed - anywhere where mice can't reach them and where temperatures stay between 5-10C. The air humidity should not be bone dry (they dry out) and not too wet (they rot). You could even put them into the fridge, but then I recommend sealing the bag and putting a big sign on them 'do not eat or you become compost fodder' lol so no one will make quick lunch from your seed potatoes.
A monthly check of the bags during the winter is a good thing, to pick out rotten ones so they can't spoil the others.
That's all I can think of right now :) but a storage video is still on top of my to do list.
And hmmm I don't think that's a rat on your face 🤣 it's just a Musketeer meets Pirate beard. Why not keep it? Winter will be cold 🐧
Favourite?? Oh my, I'm blushing now😊!! Thank you for the advice on storage, I really want these to last til the Spring!!! Lol, this thing cannot stay on my face much longer, it is driving me crazy, hahahahaha. It was 1 degree here two nights ago......maybe I should keep it:))🇸🇪
Gratefulness is a great thing and I can tell you were very grateful for your little sprout and also for your harvest, I liked the excitement!
Thank you for the kind words:))
Ryan, this was absolutely fantastic! I totally felt your excitement. Great harvest my friend! Wooo-hooooo. 😃
Thank you Patti, I was a bit thrilled, lol. 😜🇨🇦Have an awesome week my friend:))
Awesome results there Ryan! I'm happy for you! That is something that I've never tried before. It was cool to see them progress from little seedlings to producing a very nice crop!
Thank Jim, I was a little excited !! If you ever want to try, say the word and I'll send you some seeds, put your peppers on, they are small! Now, can I store them for 8 months..... Have a great week buddy:))
OMG bro, I'm blown away by how many you got and how big they are, well done that man! ❤Alex
I was sooooooooo hoping you would someday see this vid!!!
I had no idea about potato seeds! And they turned out so big too 👍
Great time doing that, now to get them thru to next year!!
Watching from France... thank you for this incredible and pretty unique video on actual potatoes seeds! Amazing 😉
Thank you Emmanuelle, for visiting my channel! Glad you liked the vid, I just love TPS, and have a few more for next year to try Have a great day my friend:))
That's absolutely awesome, first time I've seen anyone grow potatoes from seed, very impressed!
It has amazed me since I started getting into it a few years ago! So fun, I highly suggest it buddy:)
This is the first year I've noticed my potatoes producing fruit after flowering, so I saved some to grow new varieties with! It's so difficult to find reliable information about this process, thank you for your timeline of events and the enthusiasm with which you present your results.
Well done sir!! Well done!! You are becoming quite the spud master! Keep up the great work.
It was fun Matt, and well worth the effort to have a new variety of spuds!! Have a great day man, keep on keeping on:))
A very nice result there. The Sarpo Mira I know are the Red ones. They have a good reputation for blight resistance, so grown as long as the plants stay alive here. Enjoyed the follow-through from seed to harvest. Nick's plants look very strong still. If they flower you might get your own seed apples on them.
I am more than tickled! That's what I thought regarding the sarpos. Nick's shall stay in the ground for hopefully a month yet. Only 2 weeks to first frost pal!!
Nicely done Ryan. Very interesting watching this process from start to finish. Some great results. Thanks brother!
Thanks Doug, it was a fun project, hope I can get em going for a full crop next year!! Have a great day brother🇨🇦:))
A little dirt never hurt You as well Brother!!
Omg why did this video not come in search when I was searching for videos about growing true potato seed? This is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to find. Just found your channel randomly in another gardener’s comment section.
Welcome my weird friend!!! I'll pop by and see what you are up to!
Finally got me some TPS from my own berries last year. I’m guessing salad blue babies, as I hear they’re a super fertile variety, but they were growing right next to Yukon gold and highland red, so you never know, could be my very own mongrel variety. Just sowed them yesterday and super excited to see them start to sprout 😁
I picked some seeds this season. Look forward to trying this.
I hope you have a blast growing them on:))
Now that is fantastic my friend, superb results probably beyond your wildest expectations. The storing part is one of interest to me, fortunately I see that Torp has replied so that will be the next thing I read. Thumbs up buddy. I haven't dumped the Sarpo's I received from Adam yet but I'll be over the moon if I get half as many as you did :-)
Way beyond my expectations buddy!! Man I so want these to make it to even close to Spring and I'll put them in containers and then in the greenhouse under poly if I have to. Torp rocks...that is all. I can't wait to see how they do for you, hope it's a bumper crop. Either way, you should have more to plant next year than at the start of this year:))
We are about to venture on our first TPS experiment! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome, I hope they do well for you;))
Hi mate, glad to see that the TPS from Alex worked for you, can’t wait to see how the seeds I sent you have done. Hopefully you’ll get something worth planting for next year. Just need to overwinter them somewhere cool but not freezing Nd relatively dark. Take care. Nick
Hey Nick, I was thrilled with the harvest, and the main goal is going to be to overwinter, I so want a normal crop to see what they are like. Yours buddy, is green and looking good, but the cold nights may have something to say about that soon, lol. Have a great week:))
Growing from TPS is on my gardening to-do list. Hopefully this summer I'll get some berries and can save the seeds.
It is so much fun trying to grow from seed!! Hope it goes well for you:))
Kristina, this will be my first year too. The berries are dying out and I will start then indoors soon. Do we need to cold stratify? Would love to see an update video on this.
I was just commenting on your genius way of sowing the tiny seed when you mentioned "Muddy Boots"☺️ Cool of you to give the shout out. I'll check his channel too.
Lol, thanks and I hope you enjoy his channel:))
Awesome dude. U have been missed. Just love u vids. Make me so happy to see u exsitment over a few seeds...
Good harvest. Imagen what it might have been if u had automatic watering on them.
No school gardening this year? And we need a update from the farm.
I know u busy but keep the vids coming.
Take care and stay safe
Thank you kindly Kjell!! Yes, I get a wee bit excited, lol, but it plants, I can't help myself!! If I had watered they would have been much bigger, oh well, next year. No school, and yes, I need to get a farm update out. Give me a few days! Thanks for watch man, I appreciate that kind of support:))
🇸🇪
I've learned a new expression from you: Flipping Awesome! This video was Flipping Awesome! The time lapse, from a clean shaven to facial hair. No, kidding.... the experiment was great to see and we are looking forward to the next harvest. I will check the other videos too. Thanks.
Why thank you very much! It went so much better than I had hoped!! I hope you get a smile from the other 2, this has been a fun project:))
I hope you folks are ok after the storms. Just sending some positive vibes friends:))💛
Your commentary is very entertaining!
You are very kind...thank you:))
Great! That was Amazing! Never Grew Potatoes from seeds, So Very Filling Awesome!! I Enjoyed this video..Thanks for sharing Enjoy your day
Thanks so much Linda, it was a blast and I think I'm hooked now!! Have a super day my friend:)
I got worried for a minute. I thought you grew potatoes without scabs! Whew!! : ))) Great video! Thanks for sharing your experiment and your 1970's mustache with us!! : )))
I know, right, lol!!!! Thanks dudette, hard to tell which I'm more excited about, my new spuds, or this armpit that crawled onto my face😂
That is fantastic, Ryan. So great to see your seed potatoes succeed!! Looked pretty good to me. I shall now be looking to you for more "expert" advice on potatoes!! We applied the information you passed on in your videos about potting on tomato seedlings to speed up root formation (ie when you put them in even deeper than usual) for our woodland strawberries (yeah I know they're not tomatoes or potatoes - but thought why not try it with strawberries too?!) and it seems to have worked! So if that worked - I might give potato seeds a go to - since I don't have much success with normal seed potatoes! You have done well - it's great to see such enthusiasm and excitement!
Duderino, it worked!! Haha I am quite happy, now to see if I can keep them thru winter. I was right about something?? Hold on...let me get my wife to read this, lol. I saw your strawberries and I'm glad it worked on them! I'll be trying it again next year, you might as well join the fun! Have a great day Mike:))
I agree , that is super awesome!! Yay TPS experiment got an A+ 😃
Thank you kindly Lil'B!! Last time I got an A+ was in a smart ass contest.....back in 88:))))
So very cool to see your results! 👍🏼
Very glad you enjoyed it!!😀
Hello, well today I got excited ! not pee in my pants excited but excited :) In all my time I have never seen anyone grow Potatoes from seeds and I was impressed. so do you have a video of collecting the seeds ? I know my Potatoes produce a flower and seed pods but I have never collected them. This is why I like RUclips sometimes I learn something new :)
Hey Charlie, damn man, I need to step my game up if your pants where dry!! I'm really happy I'm the first you have seen, it was a very fun project and I will try to find time to do it every year and get better at it. The 2 vids I attached to the last 10 seconds are the first 2 in this series, if you are interested. If you learned something, I am honoured, if you got a laugh, then it makes up for not learning a darn thing:))
I just happened along your channel, Looking for a video on starting TPS. I have to tell you, I really enjoyed this video. Awkward in places, and a little rushed in others, but you are a great character. You reminded me of my brother in law. I think I'll peruse your channel for a bit. Thank you so much. You gave me so much encouragement to give this a try. I've hade some TPS's for a couple of years, I hope they still work. your harvest was so delightful. Wish me luck! Merry Christmas 2022 Y'all from north Alabama
Best of luck with the TPS!! Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas:))
Thanks for making this video. Very helpful. Going to save the seeds from my berries and try it out maybe next year. Just subscribed.
Great video, nice Alex harvest!!!
Thanks 👍
i'm excited to see you were able to get potatoes from seed. i got some TPS seeds of a variety called Maris Piper that is next to impossible to find in the USA. crossing my fingers that they turn out alright this year.
Awesome, that is very popular with my UK garden friends!! All the best in you TPS quest:)))
Your brave friend. I've decided not to germinate next year. Just have a small personal garden so pre - plants for me in box gardening. Thanks for showing us what you up to.
Thin line between bravery and stupidity friend!! Have a super week:))
Hay man awesome stuff. The German nation wasn't that bad ;-) As to the crossing you have now probably got new variety's of potatoes you can name them and as long as you only grow them from tubers they will stay true. How cool is that ;-)
Fun project Davey, I had a blast! I'll keep em separate and see what I get next year!! Have a great day buddy:))
That is so cool and good potatos will have to give that ago Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it my friend, hope the sun is shining:))
Good plan ,hope next year will bring better growing season!
Doubt it will be this odd!!!
Freaking awesome! And still rocking the musketeers look like a pro!
Hahahaha I have a dumb idea in my head and this is all for art, lol. I hate this dead rat on my lip more than I can truly express:)))
Wow, thanks for this start to finish video! Still hoping to source some TPS somewhere to begin my own experiments in the Potato Gene Pool. So cool that you seem to have grown 3 separate varieties just from Alex's seeds. Can't wait to see more!
First time I've done one of these but it won't be the last!! Care for some seeds? Pssst...I know a guy!! I can send you some friend, and you too can have fun starting them in Jan!!!
Ooooo yes please!!!!! (Making embarrassing grunty sounds of potato happiness)
Hello friend? I don't want to invite to whole internet to a private message, lol!!
Yes, of course. I don't seem to be able to get anywhere with the link. Ugh! Technologies!! 😱
Good to go! 👌
This is awesome. I’ve never known someone to grow potatoes from the actual seeds before. I’m surprised at how many you get off each plant.
Thank you friend! I was a ton of fun, I'll try to overwinter these and I will start more in Jan. Hope your weather is decent, I'm already tired of cold mornings, lol:))
A little dirt never hurt it has been cold and rainy here for days. I am happy for the 1/2” of rain, but not ready for the October temps. Hopefully we all get a nice long, warm autumn after this cold snap.
I have a sand botton part of my basement. I place the potatoes in the sand where it stays cool and dark (above freezing). The o es I want to plant are placed in a brown paper bag sometime in late Feb. I plant mine the beginning of April outside directly. Best wishes, Jeff
Hey Jeff, I am going to try 2 methods, so hopefully one of them gives me some plantable spuds in the Spring. So is the paper bag just to get them chiting/sprouting? All the best buddy:))
Hi Ryan! Thanks for sharing your experience. Loved the results!
I just planted some TPS and I was wondering how often do you water them and how much water? Also, how about once you pot the sprouts? For now, I left the planted seeds outside but I noticed you had them indoors.. any advice? I live in California. Big thanks!
Hey friend! I would just make sure the soil is moist, and they should be fine. No plants like being really dry, and spuds especially. I am in Canada so I needed to have them indoors, but in Cali they should be fine outside if there is no frost. Best of luck, keep me posted;))
that's pretty cool, hope you are able to replant some next season.
Me too Rob, hope they store well:)
I’m going to plant some store potatoes in 5 gallon fabric bags . I just planted potatoe seeds today too
Hope they grow awesome for you:))
Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for enjoying it:))
Thanks for sharing
Sorry Babette, that was in the spam folder. Thanks for watching
Great video
totally awesome !!
Totally correct:)))
Oh sweet buds!! Never mind back to your potatoes ;)) ✔👍✔🥔🥔🥔✔👍👍 Awesomeness!
I get excited about weird things lmbo:))
Thank-you!
You're welcome!
I use a mix of water peroxide,and em 1 in my spray bottle and it's like magic nice job
Good to hear!!
Thank You.
You're welcome
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Well done Ryan #SarpoMiraSeedPotatoes my experiment is in its second year and the potatoes that I stored were left covered in dry, slightly damp compost, but with the amount you have then try different methods to edge you bets on them getting to your second year. You definitely got more than me in the first year and what a good size, looking forward to my reveal.
🌱Happy Gardening To You And All My Viewers And Subscribers, Terry.
Hey pal! I was stunned by how many I got. I will try my veg crisper and the in laws cold storage and hopefully some make it thru to spring. When is your reveal on year 2??
Interesting video, thank you! Can you explain - how does cross-polination affect the tubers?
Basically, with cross pollination you are getting some of the genes of both the mother and father plants. From there, the tubers will be a mix of both parents, and a new variety.
@@Mrsnufleupagus After I poster this comment, it came to me that you meant the crossing of the parental plants of these seeds, but initially I thought you meant that the tuber-producing plants cross pollinating each other gave different shapes of tubers and that initial misunderstanding is what made me confused :D
Awesome Ryan.
Thanks bro-ski!! I know you have done this before, was that as decent of a return as I think it was? I couldn't believe the numbers of them. Ya, they were small, but the ones that I can overwinter should do the same on a larger sized scale....I hope.
From what Ive seen of UK gardens Sarpos are small, but that was a rather good harvest! Have you grown other potatoes in that box to compare yields with?
Never grown TPS let alone seed spuds in those boxes. Don't know buddy but I'm thrilled with the results:)
Where are the seeds at now?
@@Mrsnufleupagus I lost most of my starts this year when my Mom took sick.
Cool, never seen that before!
Thanks Chris, I had a blast:))
Nice spuds! How early did you start those inside? I want to try my hand at some potatoes next year. Do you find them easier to grow in raised beds?
Whazzup Nate? Those little bringers of joy were started on Jan 09/18, so 7.5 months, and with water and no freeze probably almost 9 months. All depends what your soil is like. The raised bed is made by me and my compost, so perhaps it's looser and more nutrient rich than the ground, which around here is so much hard clay. Have a good one bro:))
We have the clay too. Suppose I will have to build a raised bed and designate it for potatoes. Thanks for the info!
Hey man, here is a vid you may find interesting regarding the yields from raised beds/containers and the ground. ruclips.net/video/kzrIYt6d8fA/видео.html
Great video! Interesting watching. Quick question, from seed to harvest, how long did it take? I know roughly from seeded potatoes they say between 10-12 weeks
No, it takes months
From what I heard it’s an extra 2-4 weeks compared to planting from tubers. potatoes are from the Andes so they need to form tubers quick!
I think potatoes were the first thing I ever tried growing. After the first success, I couldn’t believe I had been throwing those sprouting potatoes in the garbage for years… it’s literally free food and easy. So easy that a funny thing happened this past year… I had one that looked so rotted that I just threw it in the yard… guess what? I went to mow the lawn and discovered it growing potatoes in my lawn! Never even buried it!!!
Anyway, I got some TPS seeds this past year also and have been interested in possibly planting them. I already have red, blue and yellow potatoes growing in my basement while it’s still snowing here in Buffalo lmfao.
Very cool!! I know the weather in Buffalo and feel your pain! Hope the TPS do well for you, sounds like you enjoy it and that is more than half of the battle:))
@@Mrsnufleupagus Finally no more snow here, but still under 45 at night, so I can't put the potatoes out yet. TPS seeds started yesterday... we'll see if they actually sprout!
Great video! I skimmed right through it, but my question is....dun dun dun...How long would you say it took from TPS seed to harvest?. sorry if it's a dumb question that you already answered. I'm just looking for a quick answer is all. Thanx again bud.
It takes around 9 months from seed to harvest:)
Hi. From start to putting them in the ground how long did it take? And thanks for the video, it helped
6 months give or take. They are slow growing so starting early is recommended:)
Great crop,would be curious as to their taste💕
Think I'll eat the tiny ones and store the rest! I really want to plant them and get a decent crop next year:))💕
@@Mrsnufleupagus so how did they taste?
Hey they are poisonous
Hi, did you have to wait to sow the seeds, a dormancy period? I have just picked berries from our potatoes and would like to sow straight away but wasn’t sure if it needed a year of dormancy first?? Thanks
I waited until the TPS berry had dried up a bit. Why don't you try both ways, fresh and aged a bit? No it doesn't need a year, that's for sure:))
@@Mrsnufleupagus wonderful, thank you!
What did you do with the seed POD? Did you dry it out to get the seeds? Did you cut it open when it was green and dry the seeds out?
I have another vid that shows the fermenting:))
I've been growing a lot of the ones from the grocery store that we kept too long for the last several years. This year, I'm going to save the seeds to see what I can pull out of the genetics gacha. That is, if my chickens don't eat the berries (they have before, and scared the living hell out of me)
Just a quick question, How long from starting seeds to harvest? I found 2 potato seed pods on one of my plants and would like to use them.
120 days give or take depending on your climate:))
Hi Ryan,
I’m starting sort of late June 2020. I just ordered TPS ( Russets). Can you start them that late and sow directly in the ground?
Sorry for the late reply, markets have been busy. I would only start them if you had some great lights to move them to come fall. They are slow growing and need all the time they can to get some first seed spuds. It's a two year project to really let it play out:))
So you think I’m late to plant outside? I’m at Virginia 8b zone. I appreciate your time!
@@glendadaniel4982 Alright my friend, so your frost date is Oct30-Nov 30. That gives you 4 months in the ground. That very well may be enough time. I noticed that the first year the growth was very slow. Please keep me posted aas now you have my curiosity up!! Don't forget some simple cover can extend you through aa few light frosts:))
I work on a sees potato farm in Australia
If u want to store them keep them below 16° should stop them from sprouting but u should try to store them at 8°-12°c
The potatoes will get bigger and better shaped with each seed potato generation it takes 4 or 5 generation or clone potatoes to get the shape n size
5 years n u should have a nice bid round high yielding potato
Hey friend! I got to tour a seed potato farm a few years back and it was so interesting learning about how they do what they do. Thanks for your comment, enjoyed that! I will plant those on (did that 3 days ago!) and we shall see how they do this year!! Have a great day mate:)
Works good with onion seed too.
I'd want to try one of each to make sure they're even worth growing before growing a whole crop of them.
Good plan:)
My potatoes produced seeds. How do I save them to plant next year?
If I wanted to forge for them in the woods could I find them or would I have to buy them
Unless you have wild potatoes growing in your woods, you'd have to buy them:)
Can i do this in June? Impossible to buy a main crop in France! We grew earlies.
They do grow slowly, but I'd think you could give it a try as It is FAR warmer there than in Canada!!
@@Mrsnufleupagus Thanks!
I need an update on your TPS report. That would be great.
I have had a computer crash or two since then. I grew them on the next year and got a bit bigger spuds and more of them. Moved farms and they got lost in the mix. I have a fresh batch of seeds and will start over again:))
where could I purchase some potato seeds? I've looked online and I could not find a place. thanks
Try cultivariable.com
How early before planting must you start them indoor?
They can be started in Jan as they take a long time to grow. Just be sure to pot them up and give them room!
Love Torp! Thanks for the work on your seed potatoes. I'm really looking forward to seeing the progress on the over wintering. I think it could be tricky. I've never known a spud to last more than a few months even in the un-crisper drawer... (rolls eyes...).
You must be incredibly busy! Home gardener, market gardener, & now porn star (why else the 'tash'? LOL). How do you find the time?
Nice work pal!
Hello my Northern Neighbour!! You know, last year I keep all the tiddlers in the crisper in the garage, and I had 75% make it, and I planted them at the farm. Got a half bucket in return from rock ground, so I was surprised. I will split them between the crisper and the in laws cold room and see what I can do, lol. I am seeing me planting in buckets way too early:)))
HEY!!! You leave this atrocious thing alone, you hear me?!?! This is for art, and I for one would never let humility stand in to way of a creative idea, bahahahahahha. It's horrible and I hate it, there, you happy:)))))
@@Mrsnufleupagus creativity and chutzpah is always a valiant effort my friend!

That was a great tour, I'm sorry to be late to the party friend, I will happily watch these!!!!
Today I sowed the seeds in the germinator, I'd like to know how many days it takes to see the first sprouts, thanks!
A few weeks if my memory serves me correctly.. Best of luck:))
@@Mrsnufleupagus sprout in 4 days 👍😅
@@5a796d Awesome!!!
Those are hardly scabby at all! Are you sure they're yours? :) Very fun experiment. Was the mustache also a fun experiment? You did a lot of work on this video. How many months was that? 8??
Hehe, sssssh don't tell anyone I almost grew non scabby or the bar will be raised!! It is an experiment, lets leave it at that, lol. Thanks Lola, it was 7.5 months start to finish, and I guess a bit more for Nick's. Have a great week buddy:))
How long does it take from putting seed in soil till you can put in the ground
Depends on the climate pal. If you live in a warm area you could just seed them outdoors. The way I did it, they were inside for 5 months.
I have potato inmy garden they have flover and then have two wery little likepotato are they seed? Please give ansver I will glade
Those are the true potato seed !! You can try this vid yourself now:))
How do you preserve the seeds and extract them from the fruit?
I have an extraction vid if you chose to search it:)
Great video, I actually got excited lol. Subscrbed
Glad you enjoyed!
You still have any of nicks seeds kicking around?
No I don't pal...sorry:))
How long from start to potatoes? I’m in NW Florida and have seeds to start
It's kind of a 2 year deal. The first year will make tiny potatoes, then the next year you plant those for a main crop.
Thank you
I just got potatoe seeds from Amazon. I thought they would be tubers but they were actual seeds like yours. Am I to late in the game now? It’s may 22 here in Ontario Canada the day to start planting
You can start them now, and still get a harvest by the end of Fall.
@@Mrsnufleupagus Thankyou!

2 is probably plenty my friend!!
How do potatoes grow and spread underground? Does every eye on one equal a possible potato underground?
Every eye is a whole potato plant! Spuds are amazing my friend, so much to learn:))
Potatoes and tomatoes belong to the same Solanaceae family. Their stems will grow roots once they touch the soil. While we should hill our potatoes when they are growing up, we need to let our tomatoes fall to the ground so that their stems can touch the ground and start to root. Potatoes and tomatoes are both perennials in their own zones. Potatoes can be overwintered in the ground in as cold as zone 3 or even lower depending on your variety. If you simply put some back into your raised beds, they will come back next year at about the right time. If they come up too early, some of the leaves will be frost killed and turn black. But they will always come back in a week or so. You can also store your potatoes in some moist peat moss in the garage. They will start to root fairly quickly. But they will only sprout when the temperature gets above about 40F. So, if you don't want your garage potatoes to sprout too early, keep them dry in some dry peat moss. Then start to give them some water a couple of weeks before you want to plant them out. But keeping your potatoes in the ground to overwinter is the best choice.
Awesome comment, I appreciate the knowledge:))))
I know this is an old video but...how long does it takes the seeds to germinate?
10-14 days :)
@@Mrsnufleupagus appreciate it buddy
Did you miss the memo about the coversheets for your TPS reports?
Very curious what you mean friend.
@@Mrsnufleupagus
It's a reference to the movie "Office Space".
The protagonist is nagged by his supervisor about the cover sheets required on TPS reports.
You kept referring to TPS updates, so I had to make the reference.

Lmao, thank you for explaining!! I had a feeling there was a comical reference but I wasn't connecting it!! Lol, thanks for being awesome:))
Not going to lie.... I didnt know potatoes had seeds. I just replanted any potato that started to grow shoots.
Lol, I can relate:))
what did they taste like?
I saved them all and planted them this year, so I shall find out soon:))
every grower should do a few PURE seed harvest - with MILLIONS panted NO question some desirable variants would be created.
👍
Thanks:))
Can you give me a defination of TPS.
True Potato Seed.
@@Mrsnufleupagus I mean to say, full scientific definition to write in my exams. 😅
Sure thing my young friend. Here is what google says...
True Potato Seed (TPS) is the actual botanical seed produced by the potato plant (Solanum tuberosum). Found in tiny seed balls resembling tomatoes, TPS is occasionally formed after the potato has finished flowering
