.. I am trying to grow potatoes from true seeds, and so far I would say it has NOT been a success - tomatoes are so much easier to grow than these!!
The seedling (only one survived) from true seeds was so tiny, hardly grew at all when indoors, and due to a cold spring/summer, I was only able to plant it later in June.
(Tomatoes were all started early and grew vigorously, as always.)
Honestly, I am disappointed.. the idea seemed great, but the novelty soon wore out, when the leaves just didn't get on growing.
The varity is a Russian one, supposedly early..
If ever potatoes, it will be from tubers. No need for this bother again
