Not in Portugal, no.

A lot depends on your native soil and climate. I wouldn't dream of mixing organic manure in a raised bed in this country but in Arizona maybe it is the best thing.

Actually, please do - I have no idea what or who you are talking about. I suspect this is aimed at me? Or maybe Stuart? Tina? Tony? Someone else? It is difficult to tell from your nebulous insinuations. Then at least everyone knows where we all stand.

Do judges take points off for not spelling the name correctly?

In my mind I have them as closer to isthmensis - highly mammilate, clustering. But the populations in Mexico are so variable that they could all just be potatorum anyway. The first four pics on this page of one of my travelogues show plants in the same population along the same stretch of road withi...
