Chitting potatoes. Yes, no, or in some circumstances?

Near Seattle, a Csb climate, so I’ll be planting them into cool wet leaning acid soil.

@gardening Finally starting to see my #potatoes with some stems coming up sizably from the ground, which means it's past time to plant the rest of them. #FoodGrowing #Gardening
Hooray! After 4 years on the waiting list we have an #allotment and it is really lovely. We are fortunate that the previous tenants have left a quirky shed, a large fruit cage and a well structured plot. It's going to need lots of organic matter as it doesn't look particularly well cultivated and there's a fair amount of wasted space. Looking forward to putting our stamp on it. It is 5 minutes from home and near a national cycle route. #foodgrowing #slowliving #selfsufficiency #allotmentlife
The struggles for farmers are not new and not confined to one region, but this is a heartbreaking story of the mental health issues of US Northeast farmers as they strive to make it through the year.

‘Server farms’ might actually help farm. But there are challenges with land use and labour.

I need some help: I’ve joined my #allotment organising committee. Most things were handled informally before and it didn’t go so well, so we have to formalise some things. How is your allotment setup? As #associations, #communitygroups #coop, registered #society or something else? Would also be good to know how you created a bank account and how you forecast for water bills…#communitygardens #horticulture #foodgrowing
It's a wet and chilly day so I have been planning what to grown on our city terrace next year. I will order seeds after Christmas and start growing them in early January. I have a Jasmine and Clematis on order.

Does anyone have resources on multilingual, intergenerational, community food gardening? With limited resources to pay for interpreters, any guides, tool kits, curricula, or just plain stories and suggestions based on experience would be very valued!
