Early Chitting Potato colour help

[Chilli P]

This year i am growing 3 variety's of new potatoes that i'v not grown before,

International Kidney, Duke of York and Sharpe's Express.

My question is does anyone know which one of these have purple growing chitts, as my O/H knocked the lables off all of them so now i can't remember what is what.

One potato had darker green chitts and the other mid green chitts.

Hi Chilli, there is an image here of International Kidney chitting - does this help?

flourish: Chitted potato

Thank you, thats the darker green chitts, i have 9 potatoes of that and 18 of the mid green ones which were all planted in bags yesterday.

I have 30 of the purple ones which now iv decided to plant in the ground.

To try and solve my spud identification i went back to garden centre and was told the purple colour just meant they had been sat to more day light than the others so that wasn't much help, but from the shape iv managed to find out which ones are sharpe's express so sorted.

Another lesson learn't.

Chilli, that's good that you have managed to identify all the spuds.

Thanks for that, if you don't ask you don't find out, i did feel abit of an idiot asking the bloke in garden centre when all variety of spuds chitts were green and i was looking for purple, but my knowledge is a little better for doing so
