Potato patch 2011

[wingnut]

Can't wait! I just planted out 110 "sprout jacks" from 4", have about 400 "pull starts" will be ready to plant next week, and a lot of tubers to plant come mid-May. I also have a few hundred OCA starts in 4", and a few pounds of OCA tubers to plant mid-May. That's just the start!

How many diffrent Oca's are you planing on planting Doug??

Started on Lo Owl Skycap,just did a few plants to see how they look,so wow some lovely big spuds coming out of the ground from these this year.

Pretty that Lo Owl Skycap. Having 160kg of storage potatoes is more than I can imagine, this winter you will have plenty to enjoy!

That is a very nice looking Lo Owl Skycap. Is the flesh white?

I just received a few more varieties from a friend Chris Homanics, bringing my variety count to around 30. I am also going to be selling plants and produce at a local farmers market starting in may. I have been potting up either oca or potato starts by the hundreds per day it seems.

Thats amazing gees you would have to have one of the biggest collections outside South America i reckon.

I don't know. I sure glad to have them all though.
