Plenty of time... And you can plant them without chitting, too. Not everybody does it, you know; and from what I can see t here's no difference in the results.

They did a study on gardeners world and found that 1st earlies definitely benefited from chitting, 2nd earlies benefited a little and maincrop made no difference at all.

Monty Don mentioned it again on Friday's GW, which made me wonder why I have covered all the window sills in the front of my house with potatoes!!
