Can you see the sprouts? Chitting potatoes has started





These are potatoes (tubers).
They are left to sprout before they are planted. This is called
chitting, and it helps the tubers grow faster and produce a bigger crop. If they are not left to sprout they will grow slowly when they are planted.
