Have had my earlies chitting on windowsill for last few weeks. Noticed today that some have gone a bit wrinkley. Does this mean i need to get them planted asap or throw them away. My first year so i don't know what to do. :-\
They will be fine! Definitely don't throw themaway,plant themwhen you have time.
I always think that they will suck up water from the soil, so plant them.
this is usual for seed potatoes will go wrinkly as they use moisture from within to create chitting process they will be fine plant them
I have put all mine in and they are wrinkley
mine are all wrinkly too and going in tomorrow.
I always assume 'wrinkly' is good... It means the goodness in the seed potato is being spent producing shoots....
Thanks a lot everyone. I will put them in at the weekend if i get time or next week if i don't. :)
Oh no, they are talking of snow this weekend!!!!!!!!!!
Busy Bee, people on our site have started putting their spuds in - the earlies etc (me included last weekend :) and they were wrinly too 8) ), and as I know we are not to far apart thought you might appreciate the info
