I know this is a long shot, since this board is on life support, but it can't hurt to try. I have been trying for several years to find a remaining source of Tom's Negro y Azul (the clone, not TPS). I would like to clean it up if it still exists. Every lead I have followed so far has been a few years too late. I am also generally interested in cleaning up other TW varieties that still exist.

Thanks William
Negro y Azul was created 25 years Ago near Buttonwillow CA and I wish I had dedicated land to have kept it going
I have created thousands of names varieties only To let them disappear
I hope I can find starts of a few other varieties and mate I will

....."only to let them disappear".... I find it so sad. Where are the idea of making them disappear? It shouldn't be hard to find land for potatoseeds, much easier to maintain on a field than tomatoes!

The only thing I can offer is this picture from 2009. Negro Y Azul is upper row 2nd from the left. It was not very well adapted to my garden conditions. Azul Toro was very well adapted, though it produced so many potatoes that most were small. I would love to have Azul Toro crossed with a larger white potato like Kennebec. www.selectedplants.com/miscan/TomPotatoes005.jpg

I did manage to find NyA earlier this year and multiplied it up. It is pretty badly virused, but I'm working on that. Azul Toro is now clean and I expect to grow a seed crop next year.

I hope there will be an option for buying TPS seeds as I had lots of fun with your seeds Tom.. Unfortunately lost all the dark/colourfull flesh ones due to losing a garden... I remember one tiny ones with orange flesh, literally orange like a pumpkin, that mice loved so much I only got few. That had to be super-tasty raw;)
