              6 days after the last picture, those warm, wet days have really got the Charlottes growing.

                    When the flowers die off I think is normally considered that earlies are ready.

                      Some varieties don't always flower so it's worth a quick furtle to feel how the tubers are progressing. There will be small ones for sure on your flowering potatoes, worth eating now as a treat.

                          Tested the first two plants, 90% still too small, another week or two and they'll be a better. Currently roasting them for dinner
