i got these out a little late due to being up north but they are already flowering is this normal?

[Yorkie]

Depends on the variety and how long ago they went in ...

[plopleuk]

they have been in a month cant remember the type as i forgot to look at the label but they are a purple ish colored plant

[fatbelly]

Not sure but I think my Rockets 1st Earlies form a few years ago had Purple flowers.
But if they have only been in a month it will be at least another 7 weeks before you get a crop.

[Yorkie]

Sounds very quick to be flowering; you could have a little rummage around one of the plants to see what's going on but if they really have only been in for 4 weeks then I'd expect them to need quite a few more weeks.

[plopleuk]

They are red Duke of York
been in about 7 weeks

[Bailz]

still seems a little soon IMO cheers neil.

[Alastair-I]

I have one or two Duke of Yorks starting to come into flower this last week.

[Bailz]

how long they been in alastair?

[Alastair-I]

Six or eight weeks at a guess, I'm terrible with dates.. not long enough.

My Charlottes went in at the end of March. They are now in flower and I will harvest the first two plants tomorrow! Roughly eight weeks but the longer they are left, the higher the yield.

Mine have been in for 10 weeks but not a sign of a flower so far, all first and second earlies.

I've had rocket in as my first earlies since April and they are just flowering now.  I couldn't resist a furtle and got 7 or 8 very small (about an inch across each) potatoes so I'll just leave them in until July when the label says they should come up and hopefully I'll have more and bigger spuds!

did you keep the label that came with the seed set?  It will have information on it that you will need for knowing when to dig up.

[shokkyy]

Well I planted Pentland Jav, Charlotte, Wilja and Foremost, but I don't know which container has which in it. I did label them all very carefully, but that was before my lurcher dug them all up and scoffed half of them. I now have assorted containers with assorted seed spuds in them, the ones I managed to rescue, and I no longer know which is which.

We have been having new pots for about a week now between a golf ball and tennis ball size.    I just put in 2 more rows yesterday evening
