What were the 'chits'(sprouts) on your potatoes like? If they were a dark green then you should be OK, if they were pale and leggy, they might come but will take a little longer. If the potatoes were spongy they will be OK but if they were mushy they won't. Hope that answers your query. |

They'll be fine, we planted ours today - first time the soil's been fit to work this spring. -- Rod My real address is rodtheweedygardeneratmyweedyisp Just remove the weedy bits and transplant the appropriate symbol at. |
