I had the same bother with my two Hallmark tubers, Ian told me to pour boiling water over them then cut them in half! Did this and within 4 or 5 days bingo shooting away grand! Also covered them with a bin liner.

The one off heat is last years pot tuber always good for a back up. |

Hi ste b, thanks for that. Oakwood Goldcrest now in the airing cupboard. As I said to Raymond recently there's a lot to be said for starting
tubers in the home.

Some tubers throw well one year and not the next, oakwood is consistently bad every year , mine are still in the big greenhouse I have not moved them yet , going to lift in a few weeks it worked last year see how they go this time. |
