Chitting

 

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.
