Chitting potatoes growing leaves???

[Chrispy]

I bought them from BnQ there supposed to be an  early variety, they're on the greenhouse shelf at the moment, but don't look any different  from the day i bought them? ???

I have 4 variates on my window sill, They are all chitting, but the Pentland Javelin are a lot behind the others, is this the variety you have?

mine aren't in direct light, should they be?

They do really want some light to stop the chits etiolating. I have mine on a selection of two windowsills... there's a northwest facing one at work ((hidden from my co-workers cos I work in a blacked-out room), on it I've been chitting a efw of each: Spirit, Rocket, Swift, Smile, Blue Danube, Sarpo Axona, Sarpo Una, Pentland Dell, Mimi, Anya, Valor and recently joined by Congo minitubers. On a north-facing windowsill at home I've had a pair of seed-trays with rather more of each Rocket, Valor, Pink Fir Apple, Highland Burgundy Red,  Blue Salad, Lady Christl, Desiree and Setanta.... My chits are a bit longer than TeeGee's but not as advanced as Laurie's except for some of the ones on the works windowsill... it's a bit warmer there I think and they were put out about three weeks earlier as I got them from a potato day in January whereas the others camer from Alan Roman.

Let us know how the Congo get on. It's going to be interesting to compare them with my (probable) Vitelotte.

Ahh... I'd ordered Vitelotte, but AR was having problems getting enough so I told him I was just as happy to get Congo (it had been a tough choice between them at ordering time  but I could only justify spending on one minituber)..... Given their reputation for a long growing season I'm planning on putting them in pots attached to the GH watering system but outside until I have to bring them in that way they can have till November if they need it
