Not a misprint Just wondering what other's experience is with potato seeds.
I tried some Adirondack blue seed potatoes this summer. They produced above
ground fruit that looked like dark-green cherry tomato clusters. I have
saved some seed and will try them in the coming season, but I never saw, no
less planted, potato seeds before.

Look them up. AIUI, potato seeds will almost never breed true. You are
highly unlikely to get a "good" potato out of them.

Thanks, Bob. I have looked them up got the same info as you just gave me. So
hoping someone else has dealt with them before. If Adirondacks are heirloom,
the seed my resemble the parent.

were there other kinds of potatoes being grown in that
area and blooming at roughly the same time?

I actually had some red-skinned potatoes that escaped the fall harvest last
year and came up on their own. Something else I never saw happen before.
Those red potatoes bloomed, but I can't say they were blooming at the same
time. Many seeds about the size of a sesame seed in each fruit. Going to
experiment and see what happens.

I remember that Luther Burbank's "Burbank" potato came from one of the
seeds from a rare potato fruit. And I met a fellow at the Seed
Saver's Exchange summer meet that breeds potatos (and tomatos) by
cross pollinating and growing out the resulting seeds. He had a
number of potato colors bred from Peruvian wild stock.

Thanks Gary. I have no real expectations, but a strong curiosity about
things grow-able. I'm always collecting things in the wild and sometimes
even get to plant them. If I planted 15 seeds and had anything come from
them, I would be happy. If I had 15 different types of potatoes, I would be
ecstatic.
Thanks for that info.
