first time chitter!

my spuds are happily chitting away in the window at present.  last year i didn't bother, just put them straight in the ground as they arrived late.  my question is once they've chitted, which way round do you plant them?  should the chits/tentacle things (do they have a name?) be pointed down/up/sideways/inside out???

Ups the way to do it  

sounds like punch !

the only way is up!

baby!    :oops:  :oops:  

By the time your've planted 100 or so you just chuck 'em in the hole  I know I do  

Latter unfortunately    

I'm on my 2nd year at this site so not very self reliant yet. Quite a few years ago we used to be able to provide all our basic vegetable needs from a plot like onions and runner beans, beetroot quite a bit of our years supply of potatoes etc , but for many years I've just had a little bit at home, now the family's getting older I have more time to get on with more serious veg growing again, 7 young kids need a lot of time  

they were absolutely fine.  only salad varieties - anya and charlottes - but had a bumper crop.  they went in late because Suttons took ages to deliver them.  ironically i ordered them from T&M this year and they turned up immediately.  they've been chitting now for several weeks.
