Hope this isn’t a daft question but I’ve been chitting potatoes on my windowsill for the past 2 weeks and in the past couple of days they’ve turned very green! Is this normal? I know you can’t eat green potatoes as they’re poisonous but will this effect the rest of the crop?
Also how will I know when they’ve chitted enough to plant them? Totally new to this so any advice would be fab!
I would recommend planting them ASAP - while the shoots are not at the ideal size, there is growth and that is all that matters. I put my late-cropping varieties straight in the ground without chitting and they grow just fine. 👍
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
