Stoneware is the worst. I have 50+ year old hand me down ceramics that seem tough as hell. New stuff ends up chipped, cracked and broken far too soon.
I’m certain that modern tableware is built to fail compared to what it’s possible for modern ceramic science to create.
Can we not just get rid of the traffic instead?
My mouth 😃
Probably worth potting on once into a slightly bigger pot, the extra food should encourage some new leaf growth, but in my experience they flower and then senesce.
Don’t split them, the added stress will encourage flowering.
Might be a factor of living well north of the equator and shorter days (Scotland), but overwintering is not something that’s possible for us. It’s an annual plant: grow, flower, seed, die.
Better to sow more seed or buy another supermarket pot and pot in on straight away so it never gets a chance to be stressed by lack of nutrients.
Tried to grow them in our greenhouse and failed. (Scotland)
No idea where to buy them, just pointing they’re quite hard to grow here.
Yes, it’s a flowering plant. The fruit look like tomatoes but are poisonous. But sowing seeds has some disadvantages for potatoes.
First, unless you take precautions the plants you grow will cross with others around, you’ll end up with a mish mash of variety characteristics in the progeny. Maybe good, maybe bad.
Second, any tubers your sown seeds make in the first year will be tiny, it might take several years of keeping tubers and replanting before you get anything worth eating.
So unless you’re experimenting it’s more productive to not eat a few tubers and replant them for the next years crop. More consistent flavour and a bigger crop.
