How To Plant Potatoes

Hi, I heard this week on Gardeners Question Time that you can plant potatoes now (Nov) and leave overwinter. My question is can I use green potatoes as seed potatoes, or could that result in the new tubers being poisonous?

Thank you for video help. It is nice to pass this along to friends. I enjoyed the simple to the point approach!

Thank you for this very informative steps in planting different vegetables.

Potatoes should be chitted in a cool place with moderate light (not direct sunlight but not dark) to encourage growth. This should be undertaken about six weeks (not a few days) prior to planting in the ground (the shoots should be about 2.5cm long). In the UK you should aim to plant out in Mid March in the South or early April in cooler parts.

It doesn't say when to plant nor does it explain the different varieties. Someone speaks a few words very occasionally so not much help.

can i put black plastic ground liner over the leaves when they emerge, to prevent earthing up, or alternatively can i put large plastic bottles with the ends cut off, in which to put more soil?

I wish I had seen this prior to planting my potatos. This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for!!!

I thought you had to double dig potatoes?
