So. it was 2 weeks, and I had been only glancing at them on lower shelf by window - seeing nothing. Picked 'em up to check before posting lack of success ... they are covered with tiny green sprouts!
Now what do I do?? Also somewhat worried about the little bit of scab that affected the reds. When I removed from fridge, I rinsed them all together because their skins were slightly desiccated from storage, and my house is very dry.
Gonna plant in a new area and don't wish to spread scab. At least we know it worked, but potato sets are inexpensive, and I wouldn't mind tossing them. Would only keep perfect ones next year.
Thanks for the advice, you all.
