Shock Horror. This is a natural phenomenon. If the shoots are too long rub
them off or do what I did & cut them down to 2" & plant them at the normal
time which is usually Good Friday.

My seed potatoes are beginning to sprout, but the garden is nowhere
ready to plant them!


Exactly whereabouts are you sprouting them ? Shed, garage, house ?
Approx
how long are the sprouts ?

PS. Spuds are pretty hardy, mine have been in the garage, in front of an
East facing window, for a week. Min temp acouple of days ago was minus 2C.
I
cover them with an old duvet at night. My sprouts/shoots are approx 3mm.
