Thanks for that. The intention was to plant then in pots to go into the
greenhouse. Will chitting them actually work this year? I had assumed that
they would require a period of dormancy.

In theory, yes. But in theory potatoes are not meant to be dug fresh at
Xmas time. The crop will be small compared to normally grown outdoor
ones, but herald angels will sing to the gardener who succeeds! :-)

Just intended as a taster to go with Xmas dinner. If you hear a heavenly
choir, accompanied by celestial trumpets on XD then you wiill know I have
succeeded.
