Thanks, Wendy, for posting those pictures. I must have been busy since I just read the posts over the last four weeks.

I am pleased that you are getting TPS from my lines. One thing I try to do is interest folks in growing potatoes that not only produce some interesting potato tubers but berries galore.

The single seed of SVG is important....since you did not have sufficient pollinators of diploids in the area it is like a tetraploid seed. Treat that one special for next year...you should get larger leaves, larger tubers, etc than the SVG itself.

I have picked berries but thousands yet to go.
