In chitting my first early spuds and some have gone soft,?

Question

theyre in egg boxes in my boiler cupboard, will they be ok?

Answer 1

you need to move them somewhere cool but frost free, and in the daylight, so the sprouts go dark purple/green instead of white.

Answer 2

chitting what the h**l is that,speak english pommy,try swapping the spuds for eggs and you may have some luck hatching them into "chicks"

Answer 3

yes, provided you can plant them in the next week or so, may be too warm near the boiler cupboard, outdoor shed would be better

Answer 4

Chitting is a form of premature aging, so going soft is not a problem of itself.

but they should be in the light.

If you have a warm spot for earlies, eg in south facing tyres, or under flece then you could/should plant them out now.

Answer 5

What are you keeping them warm for - they grow - they don't hatch ! -
