It has been so warm that the potatoes, quietly chitting in their shed, think that it's Spring already and have put on bumper amounts of growth. Though it's nice to know that they're champing at the bit, the length of the shoots would be impractical for planting and would probably get damaged, so it's best to trim these back to a manageable length. Mind you, if it continues this warm, we'll have to do this again before they finally make it into the ground!
