twf - 2023 These are actual seeds, for a mix of beautiful, multi-colored potatoes, from purples and reds to yellows and whites. The varieties are a mix of modern open-pollinated types along with Andean varieties. There is a lot of genetic diversity, so expect a wide range of colors, shapes, and sizes. Potatoes are often grown from root offshoots, but seed-grown potatoes provide a source of new and unexpected varieties. Grow like any standard potato. Tetraploid types. Note that these are actual potato seeds (not seed potato roots). Annual. |

Have OP Collected or purchased 2022 Perennials Fruits & Vegetables Roots Full Sun |
Purchased b 2022 SV&GWS - Bingo - 2023 mild yellow variety from Walla Walla, WA. Juicy, sweet, regional favorite. In the Northwest, which has normal low winter temperatures above -10°F (-23°C), seed is sown in late August, and a crop of very large, flattened, ultra-mild onions is harvested early the next summer. SPRING PLANTING: Walla Walla may be spring planted using seeds or plants in colder regions where winter survival is hit or miss. It is not as big or sweet as the wintered-over crop, but still milder and juicier than others from spring planting. Nice as a "green top" onion. Not for storage. Adaptation: 35–55° latitude. Long day onion. |
