The Shape of Potatoes
This year I am resolved to keep better records of my potato 'breeding' program, starting with more accurate descriptions and observations. As well as taking photos of blossoms and tubers (whole and cut), I'm going to make a note of growth habit, berry production, yield, cooked texture and flavour, and how well they store.

Can I copy these diagrams? Sometimes I, too, feel the need to more accurately discribe my potatoes.
Certainly, I got them from a book called 'The Potato' by W.G.Burton - which is worth consulting if you are interested in potatoes.
