* The Maris Bard potatoes in the eggtray on the window sill  have opened their eyes and started to grow.

* The small stems are called chits.
* They are kept cool so they grow slowly
* This makes them plump and strong
* The light makes them green

*

short, plump, strong chits will help the potato get off to a quick
start when they are planted in the ground.

This will mean new potatoes will be dug a few weeks early!
