Potato Seed


My potato plants have set seed pods. This is the first time ever that I have had seed pods and am going to try to save the seed and plant them next year. They say they will not be the same as the parent but I am going to experiment anyway : ) 


Anyone out there ever tried this?

  1. It takes ages!

    Tried it once, but our growing season isn't long enough and we didn't get a tuber big enough to survive the winter and be replanted to get real potatoes the next year.

  2. I have never seen that before either but I just wanted to say I see now how potatoes and tomatoes can be related - I've noticed in the leaves before but the seed pods look like tomatoes in the picture :0)

    1. They do look like little tiny tomatoes. I grow indeterminate tomatoes that have leaves exactly like potatoes : )

    2. I was just going to comment that it's interesting how the potato seeds resemble baby tomatoes haning there!
      I would experiment and grow them also.

  5. I've never seen Potato Seed Pods. WOW! My parents planted potatoes every year (a lot of them) and I never saw that. Neat!

  6. We tend to get around to getting things planted a little later than we'd like. In any case, I have just noticed seed pods on some of the potatoes. Like others said above, I have never seen this before.
