Bill Blane Potato SPONSORSHIP FOR 2011
A potato sent to us by Bill Blane, a seedsaver and gardener on the East Coast. It is an old variety from the Ngati Porou area.
By sponsoring this potato for a year, you will be helping us to strengthen the genetics of this cultivar, to develop disease resistance and maintain the line, and to make it available to our members and the public in the future ...and for future generations. Thank you!
Your name will be published alongside this potato on our Potato Project thank you list.
