when should I harvest Lady Christl
« on: June 17, 2018, 16:20 »
I planted them deep in containers on 11th March. They got a little damaged in the last frost as they were peaking their heads above ground so I guess that will have set them back a little. They also got rather dry when I was on holiday during the recent dry spell but are now looking healthy. No sign of flowers but I dont think Lady C always produces them?

So it is 14 weeks since I planted them but planted early and deep. Some frost damage plus rather starved of water recenty. No flowers as yet.

Should I wait or give it a go?

Have a furtle around the roots of the first plant and see what is there, if not much put the earth back over and leave another week or 2.
I should think they'll be ready, I lifted my first Jazzy this week, planted later than yours, there were some lovely small taters for salad. I'll leave the rest a little while longer for a better harvest though.
