Dwarf Golden Gypsy

[Hudson_WY]

Heritage Seed Market offers "Dwarf Golden Gypsy" (link and their description below) as a new release for 2016 from the Dwarf Project. I know many of you were involved with the release of this variety. I am posting here because I was not part of the DP for DGG. I decided to purchase the seeds and share my results for those who participated in the DP and others who may be interested in this release.

Description in part: “Dwarf Golden Gypsy” originated with a cross made between Golden Dwarf Champion and Elbe made by Patrina Nuske Small in 2006 and named Tipsy. Dwarf Golden Gypsy was selected and named by Wendy Montanez. The vigorous potato leaf dwarf plants produce heavy yields of smooth oblate medium yellow fruit with pale yellow flesh, ranging from 8-18 ounces. The flavor is among the very best among the new dwarfs – intense, sprightly (with a distinct refreshing tang), and simply delicious.

It was the description of the fruit size and flavor that interested me most. I am excited to see how this new variety performs!

I planted 4 seeds on January 1st 2016. All 4 seeds germinated within 5 days. I kept the best 2 seedlings and moved them into 4x4x5 pots on January 13th. Photo shows them in the 4x4 pot on January 28th. I moved them to the GH on February 3rd into a 5 gallon container - see photo. The next photo was taken on March 4th and Dwarf Golden Gypsy has blossoms on March 9th. Dwarf Golden Gypsy appears prolific as I can count 8 buds/blossoms right from the start. I will update the progress of Dwarf Golden Gypsy throughout this growing season.
