Mine (what are left) are now living on the draining board in a box - Next year I'm not buying any until mid to late February so I don't have the storage problem again

Lol on the draining board

Sprouting well already after couple weeks

The only reason I can think of for wanting to delay the start of chitting is shortage of space to actually chit them (or a serious lack of brownie points in your bank account with respect to negotiations with your OH!)

I have a different problem. I am out of the country from March-June but still want my spuds when I get back.

I was intending planting them immediately before i go and was trying to 'hold them back' a bit so that they didn’t poke their heads up into a late frost when I wasn’t there to care.

Is this a plan or should i start getting used to the idea of a year without ladyC and pink fir

A lot of the OBs on our plots plant them deep and ridge them up straight away - it takes them a long while to grow up to the top, by which time the worst frosts are usually over and done with Good luck!

I got some of my seed potatoes this morning. 

2.5K each of Desiree and Pentland Javelin. Just waiting on some Kestrel now from the hut on our site.

I'm chitting them in the kitchen in modules, some on a shelf beside the door and some near window.

 



They should be ok there, shouldn't they?  :blink:

Look good to me

I never knew I could get so much joy at looking at potatoes every day to see how they are doing  I guess I'm sad
