Thank you Alison, That is what I was looking for. Thanksgiving ‘New’ spuds! Yeh. I think I may try putting them in trays covered in mix, kind of a cool chitting process. I do that with expensive fingerling stock then plant individual shoots that I pull, not cut, off the plant when they have some roots but not so many that they ‘clump’. The plants take off if you set them in holes like you would leeks because they have roots ready to go and the tops are above ground. I do them this way to prevent the spread of virus from the cutting knife on stock that I am trying to keep. The main crop I do the usual way. David -----Original Message-----
David,
I think there can be a dormancy issue, but a few weeks in refrigeration should break it. Not sure of the time needed however! We will be using seed from our spring planted potato harvest to plant our high tunnel potatoes in late August. Usually gives us a nice harvest in December.
