My rocket potatoes have come into flower this week and I was wondering how long it will be until they are ready to lift? They were planted on 21 March and leaves became visible 21 April.

I'd have thought it'll be at least another few weeks, they've only been in about 9 weeks so far and I think it's at least about 12 weeks before the earliest of spuds are ready.

You could always stick your hand down into the soil and see how big the spuds are.

The technical term is "furtle", Yorkie!

[hectic]

You cant beat a good furtle! 

[Ice]

Must resist replacing "soil" with another word.  Must, must...........

Well, I might have a little furtle  They were very well chitted before they went in and it will be 10 weeks tomorrow......

I'm being impatient again 

[Yorkie]

The technical term is "furtle", Yorkie!

I nearly wrote that and restrained myself

I've had a furtle and they are about half the size of a hens egg, so I covered them and resisted temptation. I might try again in a couple of weeks.
