Title: Chitted potatoes
Post by: veggie lover on April 06, 2007, 12:36:50
Hello all
Do the shoots on my potatoes have to be a certain length before i plant them? They are about a cm at the moment! I wanted to plant them today but don't know whether its too soon.

Thankyou and happy easter to you all x

Plant them when it suits you. Chitting only gives them a bit of a head start. (Supposedly - there's a debate going on at the moment as to whether it's even worthwhile or not.)
