I am thinking of moving some of my seed potatoes that have been put to chit. They are very slow this year, due to the cooler temperatures especially at night. I am thinking of moving the first earlies into a unheated area in the house.
Planting seed potatoes out (the first earlies) will be later for me because of the lower temperatures and lower soil temperatures at the present time. If I plant them I risk a frost and the other factors are they have not chitted yet and once in the ground they only start to develop once the soil has reached a certain temperature. For me planting them at the present time is not worth the risk.
I see from my note book/journal of last year I was planting some first early seed potatoes on the 14th of March. That will not be happening this spring.
