I grew three 14 ft rows an all blue (look purple to me) variety from pinetree seeds and they prolifically produced berries. I must have picked up more than a gallon 1/2 inch to inch size berries off the ground. The three rows of Yukon gold next to them produced maybe ten 1-2 inch berries. And none of my 2 rows of fingerling potatoes set any seeds. Nor did the one row of white potatoes which really were eyes off a bag of potatoes from the store. I had a lot of potatoes but i noticed the blue potatoes were generally smaller in size. I did the fermentation method because i found the snot like substance dries hard as a rock to paper plates and screens. I am also looking forward to trying a flat of potatoes from seed this spring.
