I have bought a potato growing set of 3 tubs & some seed potatoes from
Dobies mail order. They have arrived & i have placed the spuds on the

window
sill in egg boxes as per instructions to wait for them to 'chit'
How long do they take to sprout? Can i speed them up at all?
Regards,

You will not speed them up. In any case that would not be beneficial as
you need sturdy, well ballanced growth.
Best to turn the boxes frequently so that the light is shared equally.
