Chitting seed potatoes
« on: April 29, 2012, 11:02 »
Can somebody please advise me this.
I have put my main crop potatoes out for chitting for over 3 to 4 weeks in the warm and light area,however, only 2 have actually begun chitting!! Will the others be OK to plant without
chits showing?
Thanks

They should really have been in a cool and light place. I'd go for planting them now. :)

Thanks, these are Maris Piper and never had this occur before. Anyway will take your advice and put them in once the rain stops and it dries out a bit.
