About October time we gathered up all the soil/compost from our finished veg and flower pots, mixed it with a good amount from our compost bin and put it into our 'greenhouse' for storage over winter.
In December I found a bag of seed potatoes (don't remember variety) that were extremely chitted (that the right word?). The actual 'seed' had almost completely shrivelled up.
I decided, out of curiosity, to 'plant' them in the stored compost/soil heap.
Recently they made an appearence!
Problem is we need the soil/compost moving and using...
So... given when they were planted and their condition at the time is the likely to be an edible crop... and... if so, how soon do you think I could eat them!
Photo below - they have made significant progress in the last 12 days.
