I didn't start chitting mine until a fortnight ago, because I know it's still too early to plant them out ... much as I'd like to

I wasn't planning on putting mine out until nearer the end of the month. I do have a real problem though, digging them up too early!! Really must sit on my hands this year and let them have longer in the ground.

What i would do is break the long shoots of and let the other shoots grow a bit it looks to me that they are either to warm or kept in the dark to much.
Mine are as big as the tiny ones on the potato on the left and are on top of cupboard on the landing (we do not have central heating) and are just about they have been there 2 months so thats my opinion any way good luck jacob

You could plant them in buckets in the greenhouse and they would be up within days by the look of them!

Spare room no heating on...

That's your theory up the spout J.M.

They're right next to a sunny (?) window though. Warm enough! Mine are on a cold east-facing window = little tiny short shoots.

Having said that, I'm sure yours will be just fab. Don't be put off by our curmudgeonliness

How long are they supposed to be before they go in the ground... mine have been chitting on the kitchen windowsill since 3rd Feb and are very short and very stubby in comparison.
