Topic: Potato Question

[Two Choices]

I have a bag of lovelly small potatoes from the supermarket that I forgot were in my garage. They are now 'chitting' and I was wondering if I could plant them and whether they would crop?

[Crystalmoon]

Last year I planted supermarket spuds that had sprouted & I had a great crop, no blight & hardly any slug damage,no wireworm etc :)
Its not something I would make a habit of & I wont plant spuds in that area again for a couple of years just to be on the sfae side.  But I reckon its ok every now & again. jane

I’ve also done it in the past, and they have been fine, it's just a matter of accepting the risk of possible disease but that should be really low

[poppie1]

go for it,perhaps plant them up in pots or sacks (in case of disease).what the worst that can happen?

My Bosnian neighbours always plant supermarket spuds and get a great crop

No doubt they'll be off like a ROCKET now the soil is warming up...  :)
