The seed-saving with apache potatoes was a bit disappointing yield-wise. Not sure whether that was down to saving the seed or the fact they chitted so much - some were over a foot long. Possibly just the weather/disease - the lack of rain and cold in april didn't help and the entirity of may was one long smith/hutton period.
The ones that got more shade (for all the spuds I lifted) seemed to do better. Half the row of the Apache just pretty much wilted off and didn'd do a lot. I've got some saved-seed sarpo mira maincrop which appear to be doing well and they have the most shaed of all. So we'll see how they go.
