Has everyone got trays of seed potatoes chitting (sprouting) on window sills around the house or is it just me? I’ve currently got first earlies, second earlies and maincrop in plastic egg trays getting ready for planting.
The process of chitting is to simply expose your seed potatoes to the light for a few days to encourage the ‘eyes’ to sprout prior to planting.
My first earlies are ready to plant tomorrow – a little late but we have quite heavy wet soil so only just ready for them. My second earlies and maincrop won’t be far behind probably in the ground by next week.
