I have picked off some of the roots I hope that was the right thing to do ?
I hope you don't mind me pointing it out but what you picked off are not roots! they are the eventual potato tops (haulms) the root will extend from the base of these stems and the tuber (potato) will form on these.
does it matter that you can see White potato where I have picked the root off.
No!
will plant tomorrow I think..as asked earlier can I plant them and bring them in each night to the shed to avoid frost??
You are obviously wanting to get get them planted and as they are 2nd earlies I would wait another three or four weeks yet before planting them.
I don't know where you are from? but I would say to anyone anywhere in the UK
wait till at least the end of the month.I won't plant mine out till the last week in April.
Personally I suggest you let them chit in your shed and that will save all the hassle of moving them, particularly when you think; as they get wet they will become quite heavy and you will also have the possibilty of breaking the newly forming growth
I went and got two potato bags to plant in today and some Westlands organic Vegtable growing compost & organic Potato & Vegtable feed are these the right choice ??
An expensive way to grow potatoes I think I would have got on with digging an area over the next month then planting them out doors.
I hope you don't find my comments patronising but it is coming over loud and clear that you are a bit impatient, and what worries me about that is you might do more damage than good by starting early!
And finally my last question I think...well for now Grin do I keep potatoes from this season from my seed potatoes next ??
May I suggest you don't!! You are finding difficulty keeping them for a few weeks how do you think you will go on keeping them for six to eight months?
Then there is the potential for disease which if they succumbed you would have to throw them away, or worse still they might infect any others you bought next year............get them eaten.
Then!! and I am guessing here as I have never done this! but growing potatoes in bags is a bit like forcing them so they might not keep, and if they did they might produce a poor crop..................get them eaten is my advice!!
Thanks for all of your patience with me asking all these simple questions
Your Welcome!
