Default seed potatoes

Thanks for that - don't think they should have frosted as stored on the
dining room table - much to my wifes chagrin.
Would they still be able to be planted out - intend to in about 2 weeks -
weather and soil conditions allowing.
many thanks

The only reason they go VERY soft, normally in the chitting stage is if
they
have been frosted. Some often go a little soft. Just wonder if that's
possible with yours
