Potato patch

Met some key players in my PhD this arvo, they think I should go to South Australia to see the potato farm where I will be getting my test potatoes from.. I have no idea how they're planted, what they look like when mature, harvesting etc.. Prof thinks it'll be good for me to go.. I think so too.. it makes the study a lot more interesting when you have a picture, experience and farming to go with it! =)

Also.. there's talk of going to Holland to see how the geneticist selectively cross potato cultivars for the optimum phenotype.. OOO Dave's getting too excited. Its going to be work there too honey!

So much to learn about the humble spud.
