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.

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
