We have nice green leaves, but for how long lol We are not known for our green fingers

[dlissaman]

mine are still chitting. We really must plant them - maybe tommorow -

[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

[ORKSIE]

I guess until they are established green leafs

Pre empting your next Q

[ORKSIE]

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

Green tatties are poisonous....apparently

I will shut up now

I am going by what me dad told me

[Roseolivia]

Mine are in the bags that came with the potatoes and i'm having to top up with compost every couple of days.

[beccas]

[PixiePetal]

I planted ours just before going on holiday and forgot to ask SIL (who house and dog sat) to water etc

She not only watered but added compost as they were growing

We have 6 plants growing so success so far anyway
