Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Amazing! I never really thought about seeds from potatoes. Typically when you use a non-seed to grow fruit or vegetables, it’s because you need a clone of a good plant to ensure a good crop. Have you grown potatoes from seed before? Do they typically vary much from plant to plant?
First time planting potato seeds. It’s supposed to be a bit hit and miss on what you get, but it leads to you to creating your own potato i.e. not a clone like when you plant seed potatoes.
I’m trying to get to a point where I don’t have to buy in much each year. Produce my own everything including seeds. Just something to have a go at, no doubt some things won’t go to plan. But that’s the fun.
That’s cool. Is your plan to get some nice ones of your own and start cloning them? Or to do seeds every year and see what happens?
Probably both since I collected a heap of seeds. If I find a spud that we like I’ll try to build up the numbers. We are in a particularly good spot for spuds as we don’t get any diseases carried in here.
