  • potato retardent

    I just read a thread by gardening gal about potatoes that had been missplaced and how they were a bit shriveled but had some chits on them. I bought some potatoes at a garden center in February, these potatoes were for consumption not seed potatoes but as they were a variety that I wanted to grow I put some aside to chit and then plant, as I am still waiting for the to chit I am wondering what is sprayed on the to hold them back, and how can this be healthy

    it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

    They may have something on them but it's also worth noting that some varieties don't produce much in the way of chits (heaven only knows how they grow but they do), my PFA for example don't chit much but produce an excellent crop.

    Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

    Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

      Alison, I have since purchased the same potatoes as seed and they are ok, also I have tried washing the first ones but has made no difference.
      ( i wonder if I washed my face in the same solution would it stop the ageing,)
