Sprouting Tubers

[Im not hungry]

Hi again

I placed my seed tubers in a cool dark frost free storage from which I retrevied them yesterday to find that alot of the earlies have already sprouted. They have white shoots about 1" long. A few of the other type of earlies and my main crop tubers have also done the same.

They are now is egg trays in a cool, light, frost free, without direct sun light!

So what should I do now?

Leave them as they are for a few weeks then get them in ASAP before the sprouts become to long?

Break of the exsisting sprouts so they need to sprout again?

Any advice apprecited.

Best regards

Paul

Hi Paul,
I've done this before, knocking off the sprouts, and mine resprouted in time for planting! When they're planted you want the sprouts to be about 1 inch long and no more because the can be susceptible to breaking when planting! With maincrop you don't need to chit them first as they're in the ground for a much longer time!
Hope this is of some help
