Chitting potatotes - a problem?
A few weeks ago I put seed potatoes in my cold frame outside to chit.
Unfortunately, it was too early and the frost got them so I brought them indoors where they continued to grow green sprouts. However the green sprouts have now turned purple and look sort of mould-like and nasty rather than green and healthy. Should I discard them or are they still worth planting? |

I'm chitting pots for the first time, and have done so indoors. My shoots are also greeny-purple and slightly fuzzy but I think this is normal. I'm happy with mine, and hope that someone reassures me that this is OK! |

I would give them a try. I planted mine one year too early, and they got
frosted after they came out of the ground. I left them alone and they produced new plants and did very well. Dwayne "mandy thomas" wrote in message ...
