Next year I might have a dabble at growing some of my own produce,
veg/herbs etc.

I have a potentially stupid question, do you need to keep buying seeds or
once its kicked off can you keep going?
Ie, will a potato grow into a plant, can tomato pips be planted?

Ta.


Potatoes no but tomato seeds we have a superb plant this year and have
kept seed to 'try' them again

Interesting.
So when a spud sprouts what would it do if planted?


It would grow into a potato. The reason people buy new each year is to
do with keeping diseases at bay.

Good luck with the tomatoes.
I want to get into the swing of growing my own stuff before GM takes off.
