    Mine haven't flowered at all but the leaves are turning yellow and starting to die back now so I guess I can have a dig and see what lies beneath.

    Planting at Easter ensures you are at a specific phase of the Moon - which may make a difference, but that is not something I know anything about.

    However, as Easter moves plus/minus a while month, I don't use that yardstick!

    Started eating my Maris Peer about a week ago that were planted the first week in March. One plant yielding enough for two meals for the three of us and enough left for a couple of my favourite sandwiches. Cold new potatoes with grated cheddar between a couple of slices of wholemeal bread and real butter! Yummy!
