Just to be sure I know what this means.. does it mean waiting til the
spuds have wee shoots growing from them?
Yes, well actually, getting them to start to sprout.
Ah! I supposed that one put them in the light and waited. Is there a
technique?
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?
No, if they haven't started to sprout and are otherwise OK then just
go ahead and plant.
Just one more question if you please. Do I bury the potatoes completely or
leave some of the bumpy bits poking out?
Thank you Bob
ps Not just a question to you Bob, but are my questions terribly asinine?
Would it be preferable to the group for me to go away and do some research
first?
I did say I was a beginner, but perhaps I didn't make it clear just how much
of one
