Thanks for the update on the Lumpers and the other potato lines. Sounds like they are growing strong even into the late season.

Growing potatoes from TPS sown now will make fairly small plants that will mature sometime in January for some little mini tubers. The dormancy will break by April so that the little tubers, maybe the size of peas to eggs, can be planted outdoors.

Good luck with that project as it is a learning experience. The seedlings will need 16 hour lighted days to grow well and grow-lights will be required.

Glad you liked the SVG, (Skagit Valley Gold). That one is still one of my favorite creations. I must get away from the computer and go dig 140 hybrids of that one. All colors will be evident and I will be taking pictures along with picking hundreds of berries from those.
