However, of the two seedlings, one is RL and the other is PL...I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced a potato leafed variant, and also whether I should destroy it. I'm tempted to grow it out, but not to save the seeds...any advice?
I would grow both, and save seeds from the best one. Unless both are great, or both are terrible.
