Unfortunately, the moimoi tray was tipped over by the chickens in the shed, and were mixed with who knows what. So there are some other potatoes flowering. If I want to save seed from the moimoi, I need to dehead these and mark any existing flowers that may have been cross pollinated with these.

Flowering potatoes and sprouting walnuts
The moimoi potatoes I grew from potato seeds are flowering well. As well as these flowers, there are smaller ones still coming on.

Maybe a year ago, I was given large walnuts from some store. Maybe a Chinese supermarket. So a while ago after having them sitting in the cupboard, I planted them all in a pot and left them outside. It looks like one has sprouted. Of course, walnuts have a 6-10 year period before they produce more nuts if I recall correctly..
