   I actually had some red-skinned potatoes that escaped the fall harvest last   
   year and came up on their own. Something else I never saw happen before.   
   Those red potatoes bloomed, but I can't say they were blooming at the same   
   time. Many seeds about the size of a sesame seed in each fruit. Going to   
   experiment and see what happens.
