Gonna move mine in to the cool dark store room to keep them from sprouting anymore, thought they didn’t look too good.
No, darker room may force them to shoot faster (as you get with putting them in cupboard). Choose a cooler room but still next to natural light e.g. on a table near a window or even window sill. You don't have to use those sprouts, could break off a bit to encourage sturdy chubbier sprouts but that depends on when they get planted as that's a 1st earlies, is that right? Maybe still enough time to regrow stronger shoots before planting. The tubers can be placed close together, not compulsory to have spaces of an egg tray. Please anyone correct me where I'm wrong. Just trying to help remedy the tubers.
I have various tatties chitting on the greenhouse bench and we've had some humdinger frosts the last three days. Went to the allotment today expecting to find a pile of mush where the tatties had been but to my surprise they are unharmed?
Are they slightly hardier than we give them credit for? Temp had dropped to minus 6 the last three nights and there was ice in the watering can in the greenhouse, but the chitting spuds have survived. Not to take any more chances and push my luck I have covered them with lots of sheets of newspaper (cos that's all I had to hand!)
