Do potatoes chit at different rates?

As the title really! My home guard are covered in 1-2 cm chits while my Wilja have very small chits - both started off at the same time.

Will the Wilja catch up?

I wouldn't worry about it; they are different varieties and some people don't bother chitting at all!  :blush:

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

I always 'chit' but an old timer on our site never chits and his harvest is usually the same as mine!
