ive had my javelin chitting in consevatory for 3 weeks,,alas nothing happening yet

Take them into the warm for a few days to break their dormancy. As soon as you see any growth return them to the cool of the conservatory.

probably still too cold, mine have been going a week with no signs of life.

*edit*

Wait, i lie.  The  Rocket have started and so have the Kestrels. Nothing from the Gala or Picasso's yet tho.

My lot of charlottes were looking decidedly dormant in our unheated conservatory with minimal growth to the (now purple) chits   . I bought them into the kitchen on Sunday and it seems we now have signs of life.....Shoots appearing light green around the base of the chit. I'll give it another day or two and then pop them back out into the conservatory. I'm also waiting on some Vales Emerald from T&M, anybody grown these before? Please give me your thoughts as i have a pack on it's way soon!!

I grew some Vales year before last, a free trial pack from Dr. Browns.  They were lovely.  Trying them again this year (although only because I couldn't get any Accent.)

I got 3 veriety's from Iain, Lady Crhistl 1st early, King Teds maincrop, and Golden Wonder late mains. They arrived a week ago and are in a cardboard box in the spare bedroom.
This morning, the 1st early's have nice green shoots apprearing, the KE's have nice purple shoots coming through but nothing on the GW's. When I checked again, I had the first two types  the right way up, and the GW's were all upside down.................with shoots just coming through.
It's worth checking that you don't have them downside up also.

Belly button down! (Someone explain).

I would not get too wound up about chitting, if you've got them in the right conditions somethings happening in the spud, whether you can see it outwardly or not.

My Sarpo Mira always seem to go in without chits - but that's their problem. Always make it at the end of the day.
