Hello, I'm new here so I apologise if this topic would be better in a different place in the forums.

Two of five seed potatoes I planted a few weeks ago seem to have two established potato plants/shoots of new plants growing from them (at least it appears this way from the surface of the soil - I planted them 5-10 cm down).  Will the plants/potatoes that come from them be fine if I leave the two plants, or will this create extremely small and many potatoes as there are two plants where there is only space for one? Or should I cut and dispose of/replant one of the shoots? I've never grown any potatoes (or any other vegetable) before so I don't even know if this is really one plant that has forked below the surface of the soil and so appears to be two seperate plants to my inexperienced eyes, or whether development of two sprouts naturally merge as a single plant as they are from the same seed potato.

Advice would be appriciated because I'm keen to learn and don't want to miss something that will adversly effect the plant/potato development. Thanks.

Just leave it be 

I think I often get more than one shoot per seed tuber

Sounds normal to me. Just let them get on with it and they should be fine as long as they get enough water.

You'll get as many shoots as you had chits.

Thanks for the replies. I'll just leave them as they are.
