ive read that someone has got is potatoes chitting in the greenhouse now ,  isn't that a bit risky???

[mumofstig]

It's very risky as they could freeze, unless it's heated enough to be frost free.

That's me then.

Not fair!  Not fair!!
Mine still haven't arrived.  I've emailed to see what's up....

Got lots of egg boxes ready on the windowsill, but no spudaters to start chitting.   You lucky lot.

Patience just isn't my thing, it seems!

[Ma and Pa Snip]

Got our 5 varieties on Saturday, think we'll keep them in the cool and wait a couple of weeks before starting to chit though

[smc]

got mine over the plot chitting in ghouse, in trays but rapped in 3 layers of fleece, my glass hse is not heated, hopethere gonna be ok

[Chrysalis]

At last! My spuds have arrived today.  Not done them before. so looking forward to  chitting asap.

We went for a starter pack from T and M with six varieties to have a go at...  feels a bit daunting, but looking forward to our new vegetable  adventure.....starring Christl, Pentland Javelin and a host of other stars!

Hi All,

Slight Chitting anxiety here.  i have mine in my garage, it has a north facing window, they are therefore Getting some light but in no way full light.

So in essence I am asking what is the optimum light that they need.  Will they be ok in the garage, it is light enough in the day that you can see what you are doing.  I do have south facing room but will involve a war of attrition with the wife.

Sounds perfect Braders.... they need light, but not too much light.
Mine are sitting on top of the kitchen cupboards where its fairly dim but still some light, and have LOVELY strong chits!
