I just had to dig my first spuds today. About a dozen between 1" and 2".
Tasted fantastic!! How much longer will it be before they are , say 4"
normal spuds?

How longs a piece of string? Depends on rainfall/watering, variety,
soil...but,
I was always told 10 to 12 weeks for earlies.
14+ weeks for larger spuds.
When the hulms die back for keepers.
Seems to be about right.

Sorry to show my ignorance, Bob. Are hulms the green tops? I've never
heard them called that before.
