    My TPS grew great this year. Started from Yukon Gold seed they also had a lot of pink in them to the point of pink veins running through them. Very thin skinned and tender. excellent buttery flavor.

      That is awesome! I would love to see pictures, if you took any. You can email us at gutengardening@gmail.com, if you like. You are making me wonder if mine might not have been the yukon golds. :)

    Just found this video, and I think I'll try harvesting potato berries this year from my little plot! A year ago I didn't even know TPS existed. Always learning, and thank you for adding to my education! Subscribed!!

    You sure got a better yield than my sweet potato seed experiment! Tell us how those tasted when you can.

      Will do! I was actually a little surprised by how many potatoes we got. I know those seeds can be really fickle!

    Growing potatoes from true potato seeds is fun and you can discover some very good new varieties, but it is not as reliable as growing potatoes from tubers.
    Potato is a genetically diverse crop and the seedlings do not grow true. That means that every seedling grown from TPS is genetically unique and will produce tubers with different characteristics than the parent. Every potato plant grown from seed is a new variety.
    There are thousands of potato varieties with different colors and forms found in the Andes, but these types are a challenge to grow in North America because they do not form tubers until very late in the growing season. Andean potatoes are more readily available as TPS than as tubers.

      I didn't know that fact about Andean potatoes being more readily available as TPS than tubers. The TPS are definitely fun to experiment around with, but I would definitely grow from seed potato for a crop I was depending on. Thank you so much for watching!
