How long does it normally take before you see
shoots from newly planted seed potato's ?
I planted them approx 2" deep and added water.
I talk to them every night but still no response!

Are they to deep in the compost bag ?

All help would be appreciated to a first time planter.

Patience OH' quality takes time, just hope they are actually growing in that bag not just having a nice rest

i think youve probably planted them too deep bb, i should take them out, knock all the sprouts off, and try again, this time, fill the compost bag and lay them on the top. that ought to do it.

I'm not going to be winning any prizes  . My spuds still haven't come up   Granted there not is the sunniest spot in the garden in there bag ( not my garden, if it was my bag of spuds would be sat in the middle of the raised bed , just because gusts walk round it, the garden has to look good ) but they have been in since 30th March.

My mistake I planted them on the 2nd April.  .
