Kestrel second earlies

A quick question, my kestrel second earlies arrived today - when should I chit/plant them???

Many thanks,

Last year i bought mine in Dec, kept them in the dark/cold until the begining of Feb and then chitted them for 8 weeks.  They worked fab and i go loads out of them

Mine have been chitting for  couple of weeks.

If they are somewhere cool and light there is not a problem and you needn't try holding them back.

Mine were chitting for 4 months from January to May last year, they still went in with good sturdy chits and I had a fantastic crop,  of which I still have some in storage.

I wouldn't worry about chitting too early Half A Plot Man, they really are fine to start chitting now... on top of the kitchen cupboard seems to work well for me, not too bright, not too dark, and relatively out of the way.
Some people on the forum start chitting theirs as early as December, and some start two months later... and all with great success...

I think the learning from that is, potatoes really want to grow!!

I'm in the early chit camp myself. Never had a problem getting a really good crop, even from seed potatoes that went in extremely late (June/July!) and had they chits the size of knuckles by then, while the spud bit looked a little on the wizened side!!
