Pink Fir Apples, slow to sprout

[cazp]

Is it normal for PFA's to be slow to chit/sprout?

I bought my PFA seeds from a garden centre and chitted them for a month - hardly sprouted at all. Popped them in buckets three weeks ago and covered with an inch or so of soil and they are still not sprouting - I had a look under the soil today and there are healthy looking roots coming out.

I've found they don't chit indoors at all.

They don't need to though: they're a late maincrop. None of my spuds have shown yet, but it's been so cold for so long that I'm not surprised

[Ananke]

Mine didn't chit either.

mine have just starting growing now, and they've been in the ground a couple of weeks.

Mine did chit, but rather slowly. As mentioned above, it isn't necessary for them to chit as they are a (late) maincrop potato.

Mine are in the ground now................no chit!

No chit snadge.....c'mon the toon.

The best success I have had with spuds was PFA grown in buckets, you've just reminded me. I'll have a look for some today.

Mine had teeny chits but nothing like the nice fat ones the other tatties had but this is no different to other years and they still produce loads of lovely spuds.

Thank you for the reassurance... will keep them watered and fed in the hope of a good yield!
