Haven't sown mine this year as I have so many potatoes to grow and evaluate - next year. Yes it will be interesting how long they will take. Last year when I planted tps, most had tiny potatoes hanging off already. Maybe I should have potted them on into much larger follow-on pots. Glad that Abbott germinated without difficulty.

Yes it's amazing how early they are able to start making tiny little tubers. Unfortunately I crisped them but have 3 or 4 remaining, plus I've misplaced the seeds or I'd sow some more! I popped some athlete seeds in a couple of weeks ago, no sign of life yet. Yes they germinated quite quickly and fairly together.

Around a fortnights progress, the pictures are taken on planting out, they are looking a little sorry for themselves! Photos taken on 22nd June, the first four shots are the plants above plus the fifth is the slower growing seedling which although still half the size of the others is now looking like it has decided to join the party! I've drawn up soil around the plants covering a good amount of stem, no sign of any mini tubers at planting out, so all their strength is going into making sturdy plants. That's if they have the chance now it's prime LB season.

We'll go with the preferable option please! That would be so nice and unusual!
I'm not sure they will have much resistance, especially them being quite young plants. Saying that I've just planted out a mix of Carolus, Sarpo Mira and Palest Pink Eye crosses in the hope they will self select for LB resistance.

Just under a fortnight's progress, from the pictures they don't look to have moved much! But they are growing and do look stronger plants when I walk past. Pictures are in the same plant order
