      Just outdoors, or also in your greenhouse?

      I've not had any blight alerts for ages, normally the only times I ever get them is every time I go away on hols for a few days and I'm unable to spray.

        These are my Maris Peer. About 2' high. Anyone got any idea when they'll be ready ?

        Maris Peer are a second early so they should be ready now, except yours seem to be still growing strongly - I would expect them to start dying back when they are ready. When did you plant them?

          Just a thought, it's now August and I wonder if it is still time to plant some tatties to be ready as new for Xmas?
          Not even sure if seed tubers are still available.

                Hi @JWK ,

                I think they've been in around 2 - 3 months now. Probably around beginning/middle of May.

                We tried one lot but they didn't do owt so we had to start again .

                That's about the right length of time. Have a furtle first, a quick feel just under the surface, hopefully you'll find one or two of a reasonable size indicating there are more below.

                  Ahh I thought it was too late to start more off, brilliant, really enjoyed my spuds on the weekend. Any other variety that can be started or is it just charlotte?
