just rang brother in law who is a champion spud grower

says they take about 5-6 weeks in the dark to sprout then in 6 months you should have leaves and such so about 8 months to harvest

How do you find all this stuff??

cathy_3

at my age you find youve learned a lot and if not my 77year old mum will know or my old mates who are also well read

failing that a google search will always come up trumps

not an official champion spud grower just grows his own

little potatoes are done in a few months....my mum thought I'd killed them, as I waited for the stalks to die down - don't know if you are meant to, but once they had tatties where doing just fine!!!
