Ours were started in the conservatory about a month ago. Marfona and Desirée.

I have a tray of Orla on the bathroom window cill and Charlotte in the kitchen. Think I’ve overestimated the number needed for my allotment!

I use the greenhouse to chit mine, but it's been so cold recently that they are still in their bags in the garage. After this current cold spell I'll get them started.

It does feel as though I’m doing ‘something’ towards the garden during this cold weather!

Mine are well chatted but too cold to put them in yet

Ours are sitting in egg boxes on a chair in the dining room.

Started them off last week, but the early variety called Swift had already sprouted.

I am awaiting delivery of new potato bags and Epicure seed potatoes, so I expect to begin in the next few days.

Anyone else starting theirs?
