It is very nice seeing them on the windowsills or a makeshift shelve in front of the window and watching them sprout.
I guess one advantage could be on large tubers you can see where you can cut them so you can plant two instead of one.
I have mine all laid out but could´t just leave them in the bag till ready to be planted out.I grow 70% for us and 30% for the snails, then the neighbours eats them

Originally posted by WPG View PostMine arrived early and are already chitting on the stairs window sill - it's the only bright window without a radiator. The egg boxes are much wider than the sill, so I'm slightly neurotic about the thought of them falling off and getting all mixed up. I suppose I could colour code each potato, just in case.Blogging at..... www.thecynicalgardener.wordpress.com

My spuds are currently spaced out in egg boxes because they arrived over xmas, so putting them in egg boxes has spaced them out nicely. I have no frost free buildings for them to go in.
So they are chitting by default.Blogging at..... www.thecynicalgardener.wordpress.com

#26 LD Swift is one of the earliest of early varieties I have harvested after as little as nine weeks. Didn't go much on the lack of taste though.Potty by name Potty by nature.
