Just to be sure I know what this means.. does it mean waiting til
the spuds have wee shoots growing from them?

I mentioned that when at Harlow Carr recently, I bought some bags,
compost and some seed potatoes. I have them in the light awaiting
sprouts. I have no sprouts. Must I wait till the sprouts grow
before I can plant them, please?

Thanks Martin, but if I want to google for things myself, then there is not
much point in belonging to a newsgroup
