More spuds planted




The seed potatoes I had put aside for staggered planting have all 'chitted' to an advanced stage, so I felt I had to plant them all out today. I think the overchitting may be due to storing them too close to a radiator.

I planted 3 charlottes closest to the camera in the middle row above (forgot to take a photo before filling that trench in), and all pentlands in the third row (to the left in the above pic).

Each row has 10 potatoes.

One of the pentlands had gone a bit mouldy so I discarded that one.
