robbo 867 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 i usually plant them even if they havent got sprouts and they have been okay but i suppose it depends how cold and wet it is after you plant them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,504 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I put potatoes in six bags then a month later did seven bags last year and found that not chitting the seed potatoes helped as they matured at different times and weren't all ready at the same time and we could just use them as the shaws died Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Romany 1,065 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 During the war we let them go to seed, then cut the tetty into pieces with at least one sprout coming from it, so this way you can get around 8 plants coming from one tetty.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
