- Unlocking the Power of TPS: Growing Potatoes from Scratch
To say that growing potatoes from True Potato Seeds (TPS) was a journey would be an understatement!
Since this past winter we have been experimenting with true potato seeds that we have either gathered from the potato berries from our own potato plants or that we have purchased, and we have struggled and failed and struggled and failed, but today, you are going to see a success!
In this video, we focus on the development of the first intentionally grown potatoes from our successful planting of a TPS.
There are many reasons why you might want to try a similar potato experiment, and many reasons why many people don't grow potatoes from true potato seeds, and this video talks about all that while also providing you with a nice potato harvest 2023!
We hope you enjoy this video, and we look forward to answering any questions we have about the video, and hearing your experiences with TPS.
Thank you so much for watching this true potato seeds tps video!

Just found this video, and I think I'll try harvesting potato berries this year from my little plot! A year ago I didn't even know TPS existed. Always learning, and thank you for adding to my education! Subscribed!!
I really appreciate your videos and experiments.
Thank you so much! We enjoy doing them!
My TPS grew great this year. Started from Yukon Gold seed they also had a lot of pink in them to the point of pink veins running through them. Very thin skinned and tender. excellent buttery flavor.
That is awesome! I would love to see pictures, if you took any. You can email us at gutengardening@gmail.com, if you like. You are making me wonder if mine might not have been the yukon golds. :)
One of the must try .. in my list.
Absolutely worth the try if you have time and the space! :)
Very informative video. Tfs 🍂
Thank you, and you are welcome!
So interesting and exciting!
Thank you so much for watching!
You sure got a better yield than my sweet potato seed experiment! Tell us how those tasted when you can.
Will do! I was actually a little surprised by how many potatoes we got. I know those seeds can be really fickle!
I had 8/10 germination success from Clancy true seed
But maybe 4 doing ok now
Growing potatoes from true potato seeds is fun and you can discover some very good new varieties, but it is not as reliable as growing potatoes from tubers.
Potato is a genetically diverse crop and the seedlings do not grow true. That means that every seedling grown from TPS is genetically unique and will produce tubers with different characteristics than the parent. Every potato plant grown from seed is a new variety.
There are thousands of potato varieties with different colors and forms found in the Andes, but these types are a challenge to grow in North America because they do not form tubers until very late in the growing season. Andean potatoes are more readily available as TPS than as tubers.
I didn't know that fact about Andean potatoes being more readily available as TPS than tubers. The TPS are definitely fun to experiment around with, but I would definitely grow from seed potato for a crop I was depending on. Thank you so much for watching!
U should havd dumped the pot
