we would scratch around the base of the plant and collect the smaller ones to cook with fresh green beans. rinse under running water and the skins rub off.

Oh you're right, i guess i should see if there are maybe some small "new potatoes" Will be fun to see your crop

Oh dear. You could dig up one plant at the edge/end of a row, and see if there are any potatoes. I dug up a couple of plants a week or so ago - these were plants on which the top growth had gone yellow and died back. There were a few good potatoes. There are still some good plants growing. When I dig them up, I'll post a pic of my crop!

Follow-up note... well, i just did a small plot and they were all about 5 to 10 cm when planted, doing really well until we got COMPLETELY hailed out about a week ago.

Thanks Alpine... i was wondering if those long shoots would be brittle / breakable.

When you chit seed potatoes, you're supposed to leave them in a cool, well lit place and only let the shoots get to a couple of inches long. These were the left overs from last year's crop and had been left in the cellar, so they are much too long and spindly really. But the growth looks good now, so we'll see what happens.

Like Heidi, i also had to look up what chitting means. We have such a short growing season here in Montana, and our soil is quite cool even in to mid-May so i think i am going to try this! I'll do them both ways this year and see how they turn out

good for you. . I plant onions, cabbage, and other root veggies in flower pots instead of putting them in the trash.

Well chitted, I was impatient with mine and planted them with only little spikes but they are coming through. All I have to do now is to keep earthing them up and keep the dog away from them as he likes to eat them and the green apple fruits which are poisonous!!

Thank you! Maybe a UK word? I couldn't buy any seed potatoes because of lockdown here, so I planted these, not expecting them to grow - but they are now poking up above the ground and look fine. We'll see what the crop looks like in July/Aug!

Welcome to Jigidi, alpinecottage! It's a great site with a LOT of wonderful people.

I've never heard the word ''chitted'' before. Thank you for that.
