Allotment Diary : Chitting Seed Potatoes : How to pre sprout your spuds before planting 

I´ve always got decent sized seed potatoes from Maine Potato Lady. Also at good prices.

Chitting myself too.

EMOTTYVILLE Thought you would be. But what about potatoes!!

Do it as soon as you receive them as it is a way to stop them growing spindly long shoots if you were to keep them in a dark place I stead of chatting them.

If you see a green sprouty thing they're good to go.

He tells you near the start of the post?

I have containers that are 2-foot wide. I use 2 potatoes per container, and harvest around 10... 2 big ones, 4 medium, and 4 small (I eat the little ones right away, and save the two big ones for planting next year).

They might just be dry. They'll firm up once you plant them.

+Joseph Mendoza okay thanks ☺

Petes Back Garden Hi I think the end of February is well early enough, most send them out far to early, it only takes a week to chit them, Stick with the ones you have ordered you will still have loads of time before planting. Stephen

Until you see little green sprouty thingies on them.

Mradamschannel the tradition in the UK is to start chitting them last weekend of Jan and plant them on good Friday but you can plant them anytime your ground has warmed up after winter, really

He's a professional. He knows what he's doing.

AND- he would ONLY do it once- as a highly trained professional!

@@luannalovell Excellent Luanna, been planting many myself for this manufactured famine thats looming. Good luck. :)

@@fpvangel4495 interesting perspective on the famine:) Thank you for encouragement too. I did have some courgette seeds until a certain lil blackbird found them.

@@luannalovell Our 400 year reset decoded video may interest you as thats where we decoded it is a cycle which these people are going to make worse. Haha on the seeds, i have a pair of Blackbirds that have been visiting me for some time, i always feed and water them, theyre quite friendly, the male has landed beside me before and even had a sleep, now im growing veggies ill have to keep an eye on them, ive seen the female being lookout while the male was in my chicken run lol, the chickens usually leave a mess of seeds so no worries there, they were spilled on the floor.
