last years potatoes
« on: February 01, 2013, 14:44 »
grew some albert rooster spuds last year but like alot of people my spuds didnt amount to much so i have quite a lot of small ones in a bag which have started to shoot, i was thinking of using these instead of buying seed pots. do you think they will be ok and produce a nice crop weather permiting this year.

I personally don't think it's worth the risk of carrying disease/virus over from one year to the next, even if they look ok.
I know they used to in years past - but certified seed is not expensive nowadays.

I wouldn't risk it either - for all the reasons Mum has said.
