Hmm, my potatoes that I'm chitting are turning quite green. Is it
normal for the entire seed to go green?


The entire potato will go green if it's in the light- it's why you earth
up potatoes, so the ones at the top don't turn green.

I presume by 'seed' you mean 'seed potato' ie small tuber, since of
course the potato fruit is like a small (but poisonous) tomato with a
lot of small seeds inside.
