That seems a bit quick.

Have you checked them for blackleg? There seems to be a lot around this year.

Have a look at this thread:

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I have been digging mine up for about two weeks, I had four full rows of approx nine potato plants in each row to go at and I am about half way through digging them up - the bottom leaves are just starting to go yellow on the plants that are left to dig.
I also have two rows of Charlotte's to dig, I have heard loads of other people say how tasty the Charlotte's are so I am looking forward to trying them for myself, using the Pentland Javlin's as a time guide I figure they must be about ready now so I plan to have a test dig in the next day or two.

Here's a photo, they seem to be yellowing and have fallen over somewhat, there are brown patches but this isn't on the stems only the leaves
