Title: Potato problem
Post by: posie on May 23, 2008, 17:28:00
My first early potatoes that I have growing in tubs (Maris Peer if I remember rightly), are just starting to bud up for flowering, however when I checked under one earlier there is absolutely NO sign of any potatoes at all.  I suspect I've put too many into the pot, but I assumed that would just make them smaller rather than non existent!  Any ideas or am I being impatient again lol  ;D

you need at least 12 weeks for first earlies, so go by the date you planted them
