Any sign of your spuds yet?

[Topaz]

planted my earlies in buckets in the greenhous about 3 weeks before easter and they have gone absolutely mad, will be pulling spuds in may too i thing. On the other hand put maincrops in about 3 eeks ago in the garden and no sign of them yet either. OH is concerned but have reassured him he is worrying over nothing and all will be well

I planted mine in raised bed (earlies) on 19th march with no cover and they are just peeping through. The ones in buckets were planted 10 days later and are just poking through as well. Just added some more soil to them all.

Planted Armandine, Charlotte and Bernadette on 19th March. Nothing showing yet.

Maybe as they are all girls they are making themselves beautiful before they come out

spuds in the greenhouse! I never considered doing that. ready in mid may...fantastic. Good luck with them, will you keep them under glass until harvesting?

Probably yes. I also have some big pots outside under the shelter of a hedge and trellis on 2 sides. They started off in the greenhouse but are now toughing it out in their little microclimate. I just top up when they peep over the top. They will be later than the greenhouse ones but earlier than the garden. Gives me a succession.

Planted accent and charlotte on 14th March under plastic. All are now through about 2" high.

Popped down to the lottie yesterday to plant some stuff out and noticed the first 2 little shoots peeping though. Covered them up! That'll learn 'em! When I checked the garden plot one or two were showing there too, so there was much raking done!

Boy, was I glad to read this thread. I planted some spuds, what seems months ago, probably a few weeks ago actually but no sign of them yet. Patience is a virtue I guess.

Planted rooster & charlotte on 30th March... rooster appeared today, nothing from charlotte yet. i was so excited I took photos before I earthed up.

I've several varieties in sacks and they are all starting to sprout but the one's in my raised bed are showing no sign at all yet.

I did have them covered with plastic but that took off in the wind the other day

Weather has been a bit warmer and mine have just peeeped through today.

[Demeter]

my ones from the jitchen are kicking up nicely, the seeds not so much. I do have a question though, im growing in large black bins and was trying the method of when they sprout cover them with soil, sprout, cover and so forth. i let the grow a few leaves because i didnt check on them, if i cover them now will they still be ok to grow on?

I planted our first earlies weeks ago (early-mid March) by digging trench then putting pots in a hole at the bottom of the trench and covering. They are all up and looking very healthy. After planting, I covered in a single layer of fleece and they got snowed on and heavy frost. The main crop were planted a couple of weeks (mid-late March) after and are showing through now too. We're in Swansea Valley, South Wales.
