My Lady Chistl New Spuds have been in 12 weeks on Monday and not one of them has got any flowers on, is this usual for this Variety?
Thanks FB

Can't for the life of me remember from my own experience, but the above states that berries are absent, so it's quite likely that flowers are few & far between.

Thanks DD, 

I'm off to work soon for my shift any chance you will do it for me as I need to get back down to the Lottie

No chance, already done my shift on the plot and I'm getting on a bit to do double shifts!

LC rarely if ever flowers.... at 12 weeks I'd be having a firkle to see if there's anythign worth picking.... My pot-grown LC are around that age and I've started (just, yesterday) started harvesting... good thing with pot-grown is if you're careful you can put the plant back in the pot with some fresh compost and let it make some more spuds...

That's only about eight weeks. You probably wont find much down there yet.

they seem way behind my second earlies but just one of those things.
