pulling 2nd earlies

Morning all, all my spuds are flowering, some for longer than others, is there a way of knowing if they're good to go apart from having a root around? Thanks  :)

And.... if there are small ones that haven't grown, can you put them back in to grow a bit longer or is it once they're up they're out?

Don't pull them off the plant!

If they're not big enough, cover them back up and they'll carry on.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Thank you - I appreciate that was probably a silly comment but I thought I would just check  :unsure:
