The potatoes are growing well, all of them, earlies, second earlies

The green tops are huge, I can't remember ever seeing green tops
so big, but what can I expect of the potatoes themselves, does the
height of the greenery imply that the potatoes are going to be a
good crop as well.

And, when is the earliest that I can start scraping away at the soil to
pick a few earlies, I don't want to dig them up as that always results
in losing some.

We've eaten some of ours already, they were actually a few 'self sown'
ones left over from alst years crop so we rather wanted to clear them
from the 'worng place' anyway. They were absolutely delicious and there
wasa pretty good crop from the two we've dug so far.
