I am hoping to plant my early earlies on St Patricks day-how long then should I leave to plant the earlies?

Don't you put them all in as soon as practicable (chitted if possible but not essential)  & let them do their own thing?

My early earlies arrived here considerably later than my late lates IYKWIM. ::) So the maincrops are in an advanced state of chitting and the early earlies have just begun.... ???
