I was just thinking this morning that mine are close to "test time" I can't wait!  My first earlies have been in exactly 10 weeks!  They haven't flowered or anything yet but the foliage is quite large now - I'm excited at the prospect of digging them up

Ours are not even flowering ... But masses of lush foliage. Is all in order still?

Just dug up a couple of plants. There's enough for a pan full but they need a bit longer yet. End of the month I reckon.

Sweetpea,

Nice harvest!  If I get that many I'll be very happy

Good luck, my first year so i can't claim to have done anything other than chucked them in the ground and earthed up - I did chit them early and for quite a while so mayber that was the trick.

Well my Charlottes are just starting to flower - my Lady Crystals not so, and also they have less foliage.

It's my first year growing Lady Crystal - very eager to try them!

This is my 3rd year growing Lady C and ive never had any flowers yet. Mine are also smaller than the Charlottes, but when I dug one up last night they were just the right size and tasted wonderful, like they'd been grown in butter!

[Wild Willow]

So it is possible to have potatoes beneath the soil even when the plant has not flowered?  Is that right?  I also have huge foliage...?  Should I check my earlies or leave them a while...anyone got any advice for me? 

[Yorkie]

How long have they been in?

My Lady Christl were planted on the 7th April, so i guess they've been in around 9-10 weeks. As Yorkie says it depends how long they've been in the ground, but I wouldn't be waiting until they flower, as they probably won't.

Mine went in on the 09Apr.  So I'll have a little dig around!  Maybe I'll have some tatties to eat this w/e!

Thanks!
