Moie-Moie across the pond

wmontanez · June 27, 2011

Richard (Medbury Gardens) offered to sent me Moie-Moie ....so I went into it hoping it could cross the pond unharmed. And here it is!!!
Ta da

I am going to attemp to pull sprouts from this 2 slips with sterile growing media and hopefully have some potato plants to grow in a pot .

i'm so happy that US customs let them in Wendy, now its all up to you to get them to grow so others can get to try what i consider to be the best tasting potato ive ever grown.

The other one on the left is Mystery

Nice, beautiful potatoes!

I hope to be included in your list of people to grow it out and pass along to others when you offer it. Yes, nice potatoes.

Renny1 has spot#1

Probably is a good idea to have people sign in to get a head count. Maybe say 10 people? I will keep you updated in this post about the plant growth etc.

I must add that people that sign for this task should be aware of the possible presence of patogens in any live tissue. Richard (Medbury Gardens) was kind enough to offer to introduce this Maori potato into USA via me. I am growing it separated from the rest until I get my own seed. I believe this disclaimer is needed and neither me or Medbury Gardens should be held responsable in the case that a virus or disease spread to your other potatoes or crops. If you choose to grow it and agree with the previous statement then I am gladly send you a slip or tuber in the fall.

For those who may not know much about these two,
Moie-moie is white inside but can have a small amount of purple/red,its very firm when cooked,great for potato salads.
Ive found it to be a very reliable cropper

Moie-moie again is a potato that gives great yielding crops of mostly solid purple colour inside,some plants can throw a bit of white which is something i'm trying to select out.
Taste is rather earthy which i like myself but my kids are not so keen on (fussy little so and so's)

the second one should read mystery right?

Where's mystery coming from?

I don't want one and if given won't accept. Too many things could go wrong here. The last "valuable" potato plant I had died a horrible death after a nearly newborn baby deer squeezed under the fence and stepped on it while sight seeing.
