Experimental sweetness
We had one of our sweet
potato beds to flower on us this week.
The first one since 2009.
Back then we had plans of saving the seeds to see if the new version
was any better, but we eventually decided the variety we have is
delicious enough.
If the seeds do mature we
could mail them to an interested reader who might have the time, extra
space, and inclination for an experiment in sweetness? The only thing
we'd ask in return is some sort of status report so we could share the
results.
Or explore more posts by date or by subject.
About us: Anna Hess and Mark Hamilton spent over a decade living self-sufficiently in the mountains of Virginia before moving north to start over from scratch in the foothills of Ohio. They've experimented with permaculture, no-till gardening, trailersteading, home-based microbusinesses and much more, writing about their adventures in both blogs and books.

I would be very interested in obtaining the seeds from you. As a bit of a hobby/serious breeder of various crops, I'm always looking for new genes. Its quite hard to get them to set seed. I would be looking for more than just sweetness. It doesn't hurt to try for quality and quantity.
