    Jen's old and new Dutch garden 2019

    TPS Growing potatoes from seed

    This year I'm trying to grow potatoes from TPS (True Potato Seed), it's the first time for me. Last year i've harvested the berries from my own plants to save seeds from them. They are open pollinated and so each plant is a new kind of potato. I saved seeds from Alouette, Blue de la Manche and...

    Tom tato

    Hi from Holland

    Hi! My name is Jen, I live in Rotterdam but my garden is in a small town near Leiden at my mom's place. I'm into seedsaving, and actually got into gardening because a local seed saving organisation handed out free seeds. Couldn't let them go to waste ;) That was 4 years ago. I've started with...
