Most definitely an 'Oops' moment!!
I left my potatoes chitting .... in the dark ... in the cupboard under the stairs and forgot all about them, I think they have most definitely chitted ;-)
They have been rescued by having the extra long chits removed and are now sitting in the light of the conservatory still in this bag. The chits are now happily firming up and turning slightly green ... phew!!
I have planted three of them in large pots in the polytunnel to give me a head start with some potatoes, but the rest of them can wait another week or two until the soil outside in the Veggie Patch has warmed up a bit. Two of the raised beds are covered with membrane so they can go in those as they will be the driest and warmest, and so hopefully will give our spuds a good start.
If they will survive their abandonment in the cupboard and survive to give us a decent crop of homegrown potatoes.
