Default Potatoes...No Signs
Hi All...Not been on for a while...
I'm wondering if anyone could help me i planted out my first early potatoes (pentland javalin) on the 16th feb and almost 2months on and theres still no signs i'm tempted to have a little dig around to see if there are any shoot visible just below the soil...But apart from the delay in the potatos everythink else is doisome pics on the link ............

Good luck all for coming months......LeeTheGrosvenorStPlot

No idea about yer spuds, but I'm an exiled BWFC fan, in No-Footie Land. Lived at 'top end of Deane - not convenient for Burnden, but nice 'n' easy fer t'Reebok! Course, at the moment I stay quiet - we're not exactly flying high!

Hi there
Mine went in over a month ago and the first signs of life were last week, so I covered them up and the next day they were showing again!
I'm sure yours will be through very soon
Good luck and great work on the lottie!
