 Nope. Planted about 3 weeks ago. Still no sign but they are in the open.
I generaly just stick things in the ground green side up.

I planted some Rocket  13th Mar and they are now about 1.5 inches tall. I did have the ground covered for the month of Feb until i put the spuds in. We has a touch of frost last night but they seem ok. Will have to watch the night forecast and maybe cover with fleece.
