Some varieties of potato take longer to flower than others. If you planted them 12 weeks ago then they 'should' be ready to harvest.

Can I threadbutt, Miriamjohn and MG?

My 'earlies' are now in flower/or bud...how long do you think it will be before I harvest them? Will the foliage now start to die back...and is that my cue for harvesting?

TIA..:-))

Use the 12 week rule of thumb to check Izzy, if you are growing in a container then gently work your hand down to see if you can feel any reasonable size potatoes.

12 weeks are up now so I will check them today...if it stops raining long enough to go out there!

Thanks MG.

Good luck Izzy, we wont be lifting tatties for a while yet.
