first early potatoes
Hi,
I posted some first early potatoes (red duke of York) in March but there's no sign of any growth yet. Is this normal or has something gone horribly wrong? Shortly after I planted them, we had that weekend of snow. Although it didn't hang around long before melting, could the cold have damaged them? Thanks. |

You must have posted them by Royal Mail, no wonder they have not turned up yet. :-) I planted a few under fleece, they have yet to show their faces, judging by today's weather they are quite right to stay in bed. |

My first's were planted in mid feb and only have 1/2 to 1 inch peeping out - hang in there! |

Thank goodness ours aren't showing yet either, don't want them frosted. -- Regards Bob Hobden |

Shortly after I planted them, we had that weekend of snow. Although it didn't hang around long before melting, could the cold have damaged them? It could have if the shoots had emerged, but safe under the soil, they should be fine. I predict you'll see something this week if it warms up as expected... One row of my Pentland Javelin planted on 21st March just emerged from under their black plastic on Saturday. Peter |
