  • Best time to start chitting

    Hi Everyone,
    I’m going to start my own veg plot in my garden, so fat I have dug over the bottom end of the garden (sunny spot) and made some raised beds to grow some veggies, just need some dry weather so I can fill the beds with soil and empty compost bins in to them, then should be ready for planting in to by time I get them sorted.
    Hope to be up and ready for March.
    I have bought some seed potato’s (Yukon Gold - Potato Sante - and Arran Pilot) when is the best time to start chitting them.

    You can start chitting now. I've placed mine on an egg tray on the window sill for the natural light, just make sure it's frost free wherever you're storing the seed potatoes.

        Don't worry too much about chitting. There is an earlier discussion from the thread below on whether to chit or not. It'll help you to understand about potato growing better, each day you learn something .

            Hi, i started mine at the beginning of jan, earlies and main. I thought that was too early but they doing well,even the pink fir apple which has an history of not chitting at all.
            Time will probably tell if i have set them to chit too early but i would certainly get them going now. Thanks Minty
