Title: 1st earlies - bambinos
Post by: kevinhalfplot on February 19, 2009, 11:33:38

I chitted some bambino's from last year, the shoots are really long but I've been holding back what with the weather. Should I plant them tommorow? or is it still a little early what with the weather anyone?

Hi Kev, FOOLHARDY challenge organiser here, as Saddad says its too wet and cold for earlies yet, if the chits are too long you can rub them off and they will grow back, but for a bit of FUN yes FUN Saddad  ;D some of us are planting just a few spuds in containers, cloches, plastic, bubblewrap etc with no heat, so have a look on Edibles and have a read and join in if you don't mind risking a few earlies.  ;D ;D ;D
