Potato shoots

I started off my pink fir apple seed potatoes in a dark cupboard. I discovered when reading up on the subject of chitting that pink fir apple are slow to get started when chitting and they should go in the dark until the little shoots appear.

I've checked on them today and found that they now all have a few little shoots poking out - hurray. They have been in the dark for about 12 days.

So they have now joined the roseval potatoes in the kitchen to live in the light until I plant them out in the spring.
