Nice to see others are playing with this as well. I've got a few dozen seedlings derived from Green mountain potato onion. They're almost big enough to start screening them for color.

If anyone is interested in swapping potato onion seeds this year or even just wants some please do get in touch. I am not sure if i will harvest good seed this year but by the looks of it i have about thirty plants going to seed and they are a very good mixture of PO's genetically speaking. Kelly's seeds plus seed-grown plants from Templetons' seeds(originally from Kelly, too) plus an irish potato onion that may have all crossed. Results, however are quite sobering for me so far. As i have explained before the seed grown plants don't make large bulbs and they all flower all the time now. I do have very few ones that don't flower and i will probably concentrate on those. Colours i had were mainly white and Brown but also yellow,pink and green.

I managed to get a hold of 14 different PO varieties that i will grow next year. I am also thrilled to have a lot of true potato onion seeds from Kelly and of 25 different accessions from a genebank that i will sow next year.
