I haven't even looked at mine.......still only 9 weeks from March 20th planting  

[Aunt Sally]

First earlies take 90 days to grow and you have only had therm in the bags for about 60 days.

Feed and water them and wait 

[hubballi]

Ok, will do. Comfry will do it. BTW Aunt Sally, as a seasoned Worzel viewer your pic is of the fake Aunt Sally (Connie Booth) and not the real one, though You probably know that anyway 

[Ice]

There is nothing fake about Aunty.

[Aunt Sally]

That's the last advice I give you dear 

[hubballi]

Still no flowers and no spuds. Fed, watered as required. I thought they were first early ! My Charlottes are much healthier and have overtaken the reds.

MY red DoYs are much shorter than most and are just beginning to get flower buds. Planted at the end of March 

Won't have any spuds worth having yet I reckin

[hubballi]

Steady as she goes then ;-)

[Redgoat]

Reckon the frost in April has knocked back the earlies coupled with the drought.
Mine are starting to flower now but will still leave them until the end of next week.
 

[hubballi]

Still no flowers and most of foliage eaten by slugs. Shall I still leave them ?

I was once given some of these. They fell apart on boiling. So you might as well...
