I dont know the answer to you question, but ideally you should have planted
before now!
I am in UK N.Lincs and have had mine earlies in for over a month now and
maincrop about 3 weeks.

My dad always planted earlies on Good Friday and as we know that date can
vary year to year but we always had new spuds a couple of weeks into June.

Good luck to you I think you will be successful if you make a start soon.

Don't know where you are. Don't know how you treated your potato seeds.
Don't know what potatoes you planted, but I doubt that you've done
anything terminal. If worse comes to worse, wait until the top turn
brown and dry, then see what ya got. I missed harvesting some of mine
last year, this year they're on their way to becoming a weed, and
escaping to the rest of the yard. I suspect that they are hard to kill.
