Carolyn, all of mine came up potato leaf also. Since IS is a more heat tolerant variety I didn't start the seed as early as the ones that have to go out early. I put a couple out a few weeks ago and have a nice bunch of seedlings waiting to go out as soon as I have spaces ready.

I ferment my seed and seem to have less fusarium problems with my saved seed than the ones I buy or get in trade. This could be because I don't save seed from the really fusarium susceptible varities.

I assume it can be transmitted through the air because I sometimes get it in a container that is made up of no soil.
