Last of the earlies

Here's a pic of the last of my Arran Pilot earlies. Happy enough with the results,but must put more in the ground next season. The whole family are after them!

They look lovely, I will be happy if I get half that out of mine. It is my first year and they didn't go in until late  :)

I might have a little furtle this weekend.  The problem as with many others is I can't remember when I planted them!  ???

11 weks since planting and my swift haven't formed lots yet... though thanks to another thread I know this might be due to overwatering!
