 Spuds Hi folks.
My earlies are growing at quite a pace, so much so, that there are flowers developing. Is this normal ?
Cheers...Freddy.

Re: Spuds Evening Freddy, a lot depends on what variety they are, Rocket tend to flower early. Good to see you.

Re: Spuds Hi chums. They are Arran Pilot, my favourite Thing is, I only planted them in the middle of April, around 5 weeks ago. Just seems a bit soon to me. Cheers...Freddy.

Re: Spuds This warm spring has brought a lot of stuff on early. Feel around in the soil aaround one plant to check size. Mine look about to flower too, some international kidney and some charlotte, the tops look really healthy. Everything is early, the sprouts look as though they will be ready way before christmas

Re: Spuds Hi freddy
Arran Pilots should be ready when the flowers are starting to die off, which should be after about 8 or nine weeks from planting.

Re: Spuds Hi folks. Thanks for your replies. For some reason I had it in my head that spuds (earlies) took around 12 weeks from planting. Ah well, live and learn Cheers...Freddy.

Re: Spuds Had a feed off my Maris Bard last week, they seem a lot earlier than Pilots & most other varities I've tried. There were quite a few tiny pots still left on the root so I re-planted them gave a good watering & they are still growing on with no sign of a wilt, so hopeful for another feed
