    Hi All

    I started digging up my King Edwards up the allottment and they are small the top growth has all died down to nothing there fore will the swell any more?

    Should I dig them all up or leave for a while longer to see if they get any bigger??

    Thanks

    Dave

    If the tops have died down I don't think they will swell any more :(

    Perhaps needed more water when they were in full growth?
