[AT] garden question; potatoes

[charlie hill]

Good one Ralph, no I think it's just selectively cross bred the
old fashioned way.  Tobacco is nothing but a weed to begin with
so it's not hard to get it to adapt.  There used to be several
tobacco seed farms in this area back in the days when
"tobacco was king".

Probably genetically modified tobacco. The health nuts will freak out
when they hear that :-)
