Potato Chitting & Planting
I have just got my potatoes chitting out of direct sunlight and in a cool place and frost free.
In the UK the time to plant potatoes is Good Friday. I know that is a moveable feast.
This year Good Friday is the 7th April, however, what ever date it is I also stick to the day and I have never had a bad crop.
A lot of people wait till they have to cut their grass, that also works That way you know the temperatures are high enough. It is a good idea to throw the grass clippings over the rows and use it as a sort of mulch.
If there is frost and you have leafs showing, throw a fleece over the rows.
