Premier planted on 16th March just showing today, but I do plant shallow and earth up. They are covered again now.

First asparagus an inch above ground today.

I have 12 bags of spuds in the unheated greenhouse. Most of the earlies are well up, Home Guard and Rocket are nearly to the top of the bags.

Outside I have some Charlottes which are pushing the soil up and about to reak through, the International Kidney (Jersey Royals) have all just opened up the first leaves above soil. Pink Fir Apples only went in this weekend.

Not really potatoes but the Oca are producing nice bushy plants in the greenhouse.

hello Salmo have you tried premier before ? itried them last year and was very disappointed with them , they were perfect to look at with no diseases but we found them tasteless and they just disintegrated on boiling, so trying Pentland Javelin for our first early .Good luck any way and hope you have better luck than us  :wub:
