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 Hey you, don't be daft, I am the Queen of asinine questions and in over 12 plus years nobody has told me to do research first. I think those of us, you, me and some others make the group more interesting in that we benefit from their advice and they, as good teachers, enjoy teaching us. Judith |
