Apologies if this has already been posted. For anyone with early potatoes coming through (like me), the temperatures in London (and probably elsewhere) are going to drop from the weekend onwards. Wednesday night is down to zero according to the following website.
I'll be covering my spud haulms every night from Saturday.

I've been telling people that it's going to be cold next week, but I don't think they wanted to believe me 

[Aunt Sally]

Mine will be OK, they're not in the ground yet 

[Nikkithefoot]

We have had frosts for the last 5 nights where I live. Thankfully my spuds are not yet up, but will be earthed the moment they start to show, I am checking them daily.

-3C forecast for me on Tuesday. My tatties are still in the trays. The only thing I have planted are jerusalem artichokes.

[Goldfinger]

Ours are in but not showing through. 

[Growster...]

One tip I learned years ago was to 'plant earlies late, and lates early'...

Haven't had time to put mine in anyway, but they're well chitted now.

Mine have just gone in and are well buried, but you have haulms already?

They're going to take some serious covering when we get the May frosts!

Mine are all in but are nowhere near showing yet, but I shall keep a close eye, fleece at the ready

Yes, they've poked through. Perhaps 1" to 2" tall, so not a problem to cover as yet. I will start earthing up when they're around 6" tall. They can take their own chances by May.

You might be OK in West London..... 


But I won't risk it here, 35 miles to the west

Or here, 100 miles to the north!
