I planted my second earlies the the saturday after good friday, the potatoes have not yet flowered so not sure if i need to wait for them to do that?.
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.

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