My Red Duke of York's didn't flower -just budded and they're definately ready now, in fact they seem to have gone over. My Nicolas are 2nd earlies and they're also ready in sunny Essex -planted towards the end of March. You could always lift one and have a look.

1. Check back on Adrian's slot below.
2. Check back on my POTATOES on page 2.
3. Go out and look at them!!

DON'T leave them till they are bakers. Younger the better for the first ones. = Tim
