Getting ready for tatties

I'm sure some of you already have your early potatoes in, maybe in containers. Tatties are very susceptible to frost so it's a bit too early to plant them if you are not able to protect new shoots with a covering of sheets or fleece or similar. But it does help to "chit" them - so here they are exposed to light to allow the tubers to sprout a little before planting. Allow ten days from planting to shoots coming through, and sad to say we cannot really expect to be frost-free until near the end of May.
