    They may flower, they may not. If you land is light have a feel for spuds. If not dig one up carefully, and replant (and water) if not ready.

    First Earlies 13 weeks, Main crop 22 weeks. I lifted my first First Early yesterday, a handful of spuds, but lots of pin-sized ones that need another week. That has only been in for 9 weeks ...
