I have been chitting these 'Charlotte' Seed Potatoes for the past fortnight.
This is the first time I have done it so I was hoping someone could tell me whether they are ready or need a little bit longer?
Thanks in advance image

    Thanks Edd, I was just unsure as I read it was meant to take about 2-3 weeks which is how long I've had them out so far, they're obviously way behind lol

    TBH I wouldn't leave them as long as Edd's first picture as there is a risk the shoots would be knocked off during the planting process.



    I don't think they are way behind, they will start to grow in their own sweet time.

    Cool and bright is fine.

    I plant mine before they get as big as Edd's, especially the first pic. Could Edd be having us on?

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
