planted mid April - when would they be ready to lift?
Roughly 13 weeks after planting
I left my Charlottes in the ground for much longer (just forgot to harvest) and they grew into superb specimens. They are a wonderfully tasy waxy potato and actually improve with flavour after keeping for a while. :P
Yes, a superb potato, but I didn't consider them to be waxy at all, mine tended to collapse very readily when boiled ...
Just shows what a difference growing conditions can make
Charlotte are one of my all time favourites, Rosy, and you may find this British Potato Council site of interest.
