I'm a teacher for children with Autism who enjoys learning lots about everything, a polymath. I prefer to grow for purpose than just prettiness.

For some reason it didn't upload properly and no feedback from Gardentags. Double posting it is!

Excuse my ignorance but is this what is called chitting 🤔🤔

That's it, you leave them in a cool sunny place and let the small stem nodules develop, choose 1 or 2 of the larger ones and rub the rest off before planting. It's meant to help them grow better, but I think it's just a better way of planting the the right way up.

Just another question @akamrshea I have some potatoes that haven't been used. A whole bag full of pearl potatoes. By the time I realised they were there they had long roots on. Would not be possible to use them to grow more please 🤔🤔🤔 @janric

It never hurts to try, you might not get many tubers though. Let me know if they do though! 😋

No need to chit if you don't have space
