potato sprouts????

[bargainhunter]

Hello, im looking for some help - well lots of help! I had a rummage in the back of my cupboards and found some potatoes that had sprouted, are they any good for planting? as i tried it last year to no avail the potatoes didnt shoot leaves or foliage but i did dig up some green ones also what can i start planting now got lots of random seeds but no heating in green house.

i planted some sprouted ones of mine last year, and got a fairly decent crop, and saved some of the littlest ones for this year if i can find a spare spot not filled with seed spuds ..... green ones are caused by the light getting to them, make sure they are properly covered and they will stay white.

I tend to keep a few of the green potatoes I dig up, the ones about hens egg size, for some of next years planting! Waste not want not and I am a bit of a tight git!
