Diana starts with ... Have any Brisbane gardeners seen this variety in a market (or anywhere?). It seems that Green Harvest won't have any ready for this year's planting season. Everywhere else I can find to order it is in NSW or Victoria and will not deliver to Qld for quarantine reasons. Strange that I can't find this locally bred variety, which is the best performing floury potato by far where I am. Thanks, Diana. | About the Author Diana Brisbane 13th February 2013 3:42pm #UserID: 3004 Posts: 284 View All Diana's Edible Fruit Trees |

Diana says... That's such a shame Phil. It seems to have happened to so many good research programs. Unfortunately Goodman seeds is one of those based in NSW (no selling to Qld). I don't understand how it works, because we get potatoes in the shops that say grown in NSW (or Victoria), and I have ordered seed potatoes from suppliers here that came in Goodman seeds packets (e.g. last year's toolangi delight from Green Harvest). I should have stored some from last year. | About the Author Diana Brisbane 14th February 2013 10:41pm #UserID: 3004 Posts: 284 View All Diana's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jantina says... That is a shame Phil, unfortunately many government decisions are made for short term money and convenience reasons and commonsense doesn't enter into it. Delightful however to know yuor brother is just as interested in gardening as you are , must be in the genes! Diana, it sounds the same as Aqis, go figure.

Diana says... I am very happy that this year I have succeeded in getting some Toolangi delight potatoes from Diggers in July (they can send potatoes to Queensland, I thought they couldn't in the past, but it might have been the timing). Three months ago would have been ideal, but now is still great. I am going to try to keep them going so I have some to plant earlier next year (I'm not sure how best to do that). | About the Author Diana Brisbane 28th July 2014 9:53am #UserID: 3004 Posts: 284 View All Diana's Edible Fruit Trees |

Diana says... I have a new plan this year. I am going to grow these potatoes until they die from humidity, then plant the little tubers in pots, and do this repeatedly to keep them going until April when I can plant them properly in the garden. So far this is working- these are the tubers from the first generation that has died back

biofeasting says... Sounds like a good plan, Diana. And nice clean tubers there. I harvested my first Tooli yesterday, will replant ASAP after curing and a quick chit. The yield was less than expected but high setting tubers were a nice surprise, which points to potential for deep bag culture with seed-crowding. I'll keep replanting mine until their vigour declines, which I believe happens about generation six (G6) in many varieties, and I suppose the Goodman seed was G3, which seems common. After that... I will try another source, G1 or G2. The plot photos here were taken 5th Feb (at 8wks old) and 14th Feb, the several Tooli of that first planting are front of row, bottom left of frame. They turned out to be the quickest of eleven vars.

adam@dinosaurus.com.au says... Hi Diana, I’m interested to learn how you went with growing Toolangi Delights? I know this was a few years ago but I’m a Toolangi local and desperate to source some to grow myself. No one seems to have any anymore, even the potato research station up here. Look forward to hearing from you.

jakfruit etiquette says... A few people are growing and selling them https://spudsisters.com.au/products/toolangi-delight-potatoes I thought I had seen them recently. If you G search, you will find more hits, including seed companies, Let us know how you go. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette MERBEIN,3505,VIC 27th March 2022 11:49am #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |
