HI :frow

I believe I read that the seeds can be harvested when they feel like a ripe tomato. Mine are getting close.

You basically let them dry out. Then plant the seeds VERY early in the spring and use the tuberletts you get from those plants as your seed potato. I googled potato seed and there were several sites with info, I just did a quick read through so please double check.
