So happy my potatoes have flowers

So happy my potatoes have flowers. Soon will be able to  pick and eat them .Usually eating about this time but they were late to go in. Hope it's a decent harvest

Wow. I have tons of leaf (it's like a jungle with my earlies) but no flower buds yet - thought it would be too early still but obviously not

After last year I am happy that mine have leaves!  Last year they got blight and just disappeared 

Lot's of foliage is usually a sign of too much water, either rain of watering can. If you have flower's then now is the time to give a really heavy watering unless you have had 3 day's of rain like me.

Last year, which was nasty weather wise, I planted new spuds in my tunnel on 19th Feb and started harvesting on 7th May. This year, I planted them in there on 24th Feb and although they've flowered, I still can't find anything more than very tiny little spuds in there. It's such a bizarre year, like everything is so confused it just stopped growing or gave up.

On the bright side, my apple trees are glorious with blossom, so fingers crossed at least they'll give a crop this year, whereas last year was the first ever time I had absolutely no tree fruit at all, total failure of pears, apples and gages.

My spuds didn't even go in until the 20th April. They've needed earthing up a few times due to (correct) frost forecasts and are now about 6 inches or so high. Spuds will be late this year methinks.

mine are also coming up nicely. i do hope it gets warmer over the next couple of weeks it will certainly help things

lets hope the weekend is dry
