I have to confess I left my seed potatoes in the box a lot longer than I should have. I did think though that by excluding light and keeping them cool and dry that they would be fine for a bit and then I'd find them a home to start chitting them. I opened the box yesterday to get them out and put them in egg boxes and it appeared that they decided to take the executive decision to make a start on chitting themselves in the box.
Despite being cramped they seem alright, however many have sprouted one long shoot rather than a few shorter, stubby ones. I'm hoping other shoots will also sprout too now that they are in their egg boxes. Another lesson learned in the land of veggie growing.
