As said in another thread, spuds don't always oblige by flowering.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Glad to have seen this thread - my maincrop - Desiree - are just starting to flower - although none open yet - they have been in the ground just 6 weeks.  Our first earlies Pentland Javelin have been in some 12 weeks and still no real sign of flowers although something is forming and as we are new to this the jury is out if it's flowers starting.

Both are growing like mad and the firsts have been earthed up - mains to follow shortly.

I guess with my firsts they were delayed a bit due to the cold weather - if no flowers in a couple of weeks I'll be out with the trowel.  Getting excited now.
