[mushpea]

we planted ours a bit late, then the rabbit dug them up and then i ran out of soil and had to wait unitll i bought more!! so they not had the best start in life and hence have not grown much yet!

Mine have too...Cover the shoots over with soil, and keep covering them till they are fairly tall, apparently this will make the root bigger encouraging more tatties:thumbsup:

[ORKSIE]

I guess until they are established green leafs:D

Pre empting your next Q :laughing:

[ORKSIE]

Oh and dont let the potatoes see day light or they go green.

Green tatties are poisonous....apparently:thumbsup:
