I planted a few Red Duke of York in pots, and indoors, on March 9th.
After a month or so, when abundant foliage had appeared, I put them
outside.

Any ideas when they should be ready to harvest. A book says elapsed
time plant to harvest of about 75 days for earlies --- which is about
now from the 9th March. However, the weather has been a little colder
than normal (I'm in North West Ireland).

I see flowers appearing on *other* Red Duke of Yorks that I planted
outside on 19th March, but none on the 9th March (pots) ones.

Best regards,

Jon C.

I reckon about 3 months for earlies and 4 months plus for maincrop. Some
of our members are already digging potatoes but they would have been
planted straight out in Feb/March.

It depends how big you want them. Personally I dig some up as soon as
they are a little bigger than my thumb nail, that is when they are at
their best IMHO. By the time I come to then end of them they are fully
grown, then I can carry on with the lates.
