How odd, I disagree with the organic gardening people, if you put them in
the dark it only speeds up the chitting which at the early stage of the year
is not what you want




Something to do with etioliation isn't it?

I agree with you, I wouldn't want them to start sprouting too early, so
keep them wit lots of light to keep them short.
