Second crop with TPS Seedling Micro tubers?
 

I have a number of TPS seedlings growing at the moment. This is my first experiment at this. I should be able to harvest some micro tubers in July from my TPS plants. (Hopefully, if they survive this month!)

I understand that once harvested. These microtubers need a dormancy period before they can be planted again. How long does this need to be?[/B]

It gets very hot here in the months of July and August and early September. Night temps are usually above 20 c and daytime temps peak at ranges between 31c to 38c. I am thinking to store any harvested microtubers at a cooler location during the heat of the summer.[B] If I store any harvested microtubers at a cooler location, is it possible to create dormancy conditions for the harvested potato microtubers, to have a dormancy period for about 6 weeks and then to actually grow another potato crop with these microtubers again for example in late August for an Autumn crop?[/B]

Two years ago I planted some regular tats in September and got a good crop in early December. I learnt how to protect tats from frost last
Autumn so think I could repeat the feat!


Another thing I will try is to grow some more TPS and plant these out in September to see If I can get a second crop this way.

Three months is my answer...some less...some more.
