I was wondering if it would be feasible to grow potatoes from seed. I'm
sure I could get seed from some specialist growers in the UK. I'm not
really looking for any weird or rare varieties, anything other then
"floury" would do. The same goes for onions - Can anybody tell me if I'm
wasting my time, and if not how and when do I start - any hints and tips
would be very helpful.
Thanks.

I know nothing about potatoes from seed - i have only ever seen it
being disregarded as a practice for home growing.
As for onions, i have my first lot of seeds sprouting at the moment.
Apparently (according to last months KG) a healthy sized onion can be
achieved from a early sowing, if they are kept warm. I guess i will
have to see if this is true later this year. I get the impression tho
that onions from seed are very possible just less reliable/speedy than
sets.
