Default Potato chitting



Why do my 'eating' potatoes 'chit' so much faster in the fridge than my

seed
potatoes kept on the windowsill?

I wont to know why all the advice (e.g. my local radio station this Sunday)
is to chit in good light at 8 C.

I tried two years on the trot to chit in a conservatory which has a radiator
that comes on twice a day for an hour each time, and there was still hardly
any shoots in May.

I now use my office windowsill at temperatures of around 16 C and I find
that perfect.
