Have yours got flowers?

[Bigmallly]

Hi, I planted the bulk of my tatties on Good Friday. All are doing really well, good growth, lovely colour, almost perfect. I say almost as there is little or no sign of flower buds........hows yours doing?.........P.S There are about 10 different varieties & only Orla has 1 flower.

BM I planted my Pentland javelin on 1st April and I've got tiny buds of those buckets that went into the GH nothing showing on those that went straight outside.

I planted mine the same time BM, 5 different types. They are still only just poking their leaves through, let alone flowering.

Red Duke of York and Lady C planted in buckets in the GH 26/02 been eating some of those for about a fortnight.

Those planted 15/03 outside are doing well (the haulms are well over the top of the dustbins) but not yet ready for harvest.

Main crop are obviously weeks away yet.

Flowers???....I only have 3 out of 120 just poking their leaves through the surface ( plus about 20 still to plant out!)

Yup- we're a tad behind

I've got flowers on the earlies in my polytunnel but the ones outside are only poking through now. Not all varieties flower anyway.

Charlottes inna bag planted 23 March - flower buds just forming, Desiree planted inna bag 31 March has well-formed flower buds, Lady C planted inna bag 31 March has no flowers.

All tatties in the soil are 2-3 weeks behind and have no flowers though are doing absurdly well compared to last year's overmanuring fiasco.

Ditto from here too, you're not alone Nicos a load of mine went in last weekend.

My neighbouring plot holder was harvesting some of his rockets last weekend, as I was putting mine in!!!

Those in the greenhouse (planted about 1st March) haven't flowered, but I'll be turning the first pot out next weekend. <crosses fingers>

Mine are just about above bag level! Been earthed up "Twice"



Gunna "Top em out" this weekend I is thinking!

I planted mine 10th march - and they started flowering 2 days ago. They are earlies so I furtled for my first meal today - small but delicious

[Bigmallly]

Thanks all, so glad I'm not alone. I thought I had done something wrong for a mo.............having said that, they have only been in the ground around 8 weeks so stoopid question really...........

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

It's a funny old thing! This gardening business!

Just for info I have been growing Lady C for a number of years and leave some in for 18 weeks to get bakers and chippers, never known them to flower yet.
