....are not very good for us on the allotment.
They have been regularly watered and manure was dug in prior to
sowing. Four types, Cara, Maris Piper, King Edward and Golden Wonder.
All have the haulms flopping over, some are black. To me that means
they are ready to harvest.
In the garden at home they are still thriving with rich haulms. Sowed
at the same time, well, same day.

We have eaten all of the earlies, and it was a very large sowing.


Looks good so far here. Lifted all the second early Kestral last on
Saturday as they had died back, good crop of nice tubers although a
lot of green ones, for some strange reason they seem to have grown
very near the soil surface. On the maincrop hulms I notice the Rooster
and Valour are beginning to yellow but the two Sarpo varieties show no
sign of stopping growing,

Yes, that is what we are getting as well, green potatoes. Earthed up too.
Not Kestral, but all the maincrop.
