I've seen the first leaves on my earlies yesterday,  it has only just started warming up so I would not be worried they are taking a while.  A quick walk around the site this morning and no one elses are doing anythink much either, I think they are all on the go slow due to the cold nights of late.

I was in the same boat last week - no sign at all. 

However Thursday evening I saw the first tiny tips of the first early leaf (one plant only) so I'd say relax they're probably on their way!

Maybe everythign's just taking a bit longer this year?

I have some that I cannot earth up any more in their pots and others that have not appeared yet - pink fir apple- or something like that. So it might just be the type.

I dug a trench for salad crop and put them in after a week. so dry that it didnt do anything. Watered heavily on friday (without the rose in the can) and going to visit this evening.
FEs are brilliant popping out and already out of my 6 inch earthup.
One kid is handful. Two kids.... Example for chaos theory. Hats off to my mum who managed three...
