Care for TPS seeds is similar to growing tomatoes, just smaller. They take about 6-8 weeks before large enough to transplant, and they prefer slightly cooler temperatures.

Tom Wagner has a ton of information on growing from TPS on his website. It may get blocked here, but it is tatermater.★★★★★★★★★.com
Thanks for the information Nathan.Very helpful.

Nice to know the seeds are viable for that long with proper care.I couldn't do them this year as it would be too late once they arrived here.My Sis won't ship till late Sept....Time to arrival here is 6 to 8 weeks..then another 6-8 weeks to get to transplant size.It starts getting hot here in Mid Feb,so it looks like I am already late for TPS for this season.

Again,thank you for the solid info.
