Don't tell me that Mick, I've still got some in the ground. The ones I've dug so far have been excellent, but they were dug up a month ago. You've got me worried now :nowink: so think I'll lift the rest tomorrow.

Rain forecast so dug them this evening. Absolutely fine. No shoots, nor looking likely.
Planted on 14 March, halums showed above ground 16 April. First harvest 20 June.
Used Poundland organic potato fertiliser as experiment.
Oh..... and a bit of seaweed.

Do you mean that your crop from this year is starting to re sprout in the ground?
I thought that spuds needed 90 days(or is it 60) dormancy before they could be replanted to get another crop for Christmas?

Small potatoes attached underground or green seeds above ground?

These deformations are primarily due to high temperature stress in the field often but not necessarily exacerbated by water stress. Note, water stress or drought alone does not cause these deformation. The severity of the deformation increases with higher temperatures and longer high-temperature periods. Basically, high temperatures, above 80oF, decrease cell division and lower the supply of carbohydrates available to the tuber. Other factors that exacerbate temperature-induced deformation are excessive nitrogen application before a high temperature period, uneven nutrient or moisture supply, hail and frost.

Like m1ckz, I am in Essex, and it's been both very dry and warm this "early" summer, which is what I suspect has caused the problem.
