I earthed my Red Emmalies up yesterday for the second or third time. Not quite sure which. Either way, my experience is they like to stick shoots out sideways, more so than any of my other potatoes. Unfortunately, I damaged a few of these shoots (no leaves showing but a few minute potatoes on them). Just thought I'd pass on the info in case it's useful to anyone else earthing them up.
On the plus side, the tiny potatoes that were forming were a beautiful colour. A glorious raspberry pink on the outside and a lovely uniform paler version of the same colour inside. Bet they look gorgeous on the plate even if they lose a bit of colour during cooking.
