First early potatoes
« on: March 04, 2008, 15:31:18 »
Hey all
Quick Q, we just received our seed potatoes last week and will start chitting the first earlies this week (w/c 3 March) but I just saw online that they should be planted late February. Should we bother chitting or throw them straight in the ground?
Thanks!

Depends on where you are... it is snowing and freezing here so I'd not bother yet..

Your soil is probablty workable but I'd still chit them for a week or two..
