Not even planting them 'til this weekend

[solway cropper]

Photo was taken over a week ago. The tops are now cleared of the tub and have been 'earthed up' once. These are in an unheated greenhouse and the first 2 rows outside are above ground now. I have about 30 plants in the GH which are well away. I like early spuds when they cost an arm and a leg in the shops.

Some of mine have shown in bags on the patio and have had a shovelful of compost tipped on them. Others have not yet. Those planted in the ground went in a bit later so no signs yet. I planted about the 20th Mar

They like well rotted manure If what you have is too fresh to use  plant your spuds with some chicken manure pellets, or any general fertiliser, and you will get a crop

You won't if you don't plant them

 My first tattie showed itself today. 

[whistler]

Yes, two 'showings' of Swift FE planted under black membrane on 6th March. 

We are still having frosts but beautiful days!

I noticed 1 tiny sprout on a Kestrel, which I quickly covered   but none through on the Pentland Javelins   very strange  

Same for me Kestral just poking through, Pentland javelin no show.
