About a week ago I planted some seed potatoes, which had started to
sprout, but there is no sign of any growth yet, am I being too
impatient? How long should they take before showing growth above
the ground?

Yes you are being a bit too impatient, can take a few weeks before
they show.


I planted mine about a month ago and not a dickie bird. I'm
beginning to think they're not going to emerge


Unless you planted them very deep, IMO you planted them much too
early.


I think you might be right.
