Car accidents are the leading cause of death in children. When are we going to ban the damn cars???

Exactly! As far as I know, it should work with any potato.

For next year I’m planning on starting in early spring. I may even do a trial run of late summer/fall planting for the end of this year.

 

For those who don’t know, the Ruth stout method is just laying your seed potatoes on the ground of covering with straw or hay.

I did not water these, and once the plants died back I just raked away the straw and these potatoes were laying on top of the soil, or about an inch deep.

They are tiny because I ended up planting them later than I should have and the heat was too much for them in the middle of summer.

Overall it was a great trial run and I plan to give it another go next year.

Would love to contribute if they ever release an iOS app.

This is the method I used.

Ive seen other videos like one from smokin Ed who just takes two flowers and rubs them together, but that’s not 100% reliable.

The method above will guarantee cross pollination as long as you get successful pollination. It took me a few tries, but eventually I got one to work.

I grew a few kinds of garlic this year and music did the best. I’m definitely going to 100% music this fall

Thank you! I’ve definitely killed my fair share of plants. The trick is to keep trying 🙂

I’m both looking forward to and dreading tasting this once it ripens.

There will be several factors in choosing which F1 plant to go forward with, taste definitely being one of them.

Also F2 could still look very different so it’s probably best to wait before naming.

Any ideas on what to name this? I was thinking blue brain ghost.

I hope it happens sooner than later! I’ve got a few Khang starr varieties that are about to start ripening.

I don’t eat super hots raw. But I do like making hot sauce with them, where a little goes a long way.

 

I did the cross pollination by hand over the winter and saved the seeds that grew from that pepper.

Then I planted the seeds and grew out 8 F1 plants. This is the first one growing pods thanks to a visit from some local deer which set them back.

 

Blueberries, raspberries, and golden raspberries.
