Hi all        when do you lift the earlies,   some people are saying before  they flower and others   after.       any advice please.  Michael

Lots of recent posts on this question, try this one for starters

It also depends whether it is a first early or second early, I'd go on the harvesting times in weeks rather than the flowers - not all varieties flower at all or at the same stage.
