I've grown spuds in my garden before and from experience I'd expect them to be 18" or more before they flower.
I planted some chitted earlies (Pentland Javlin) in my new allotment, in dug but untreated soil. They came up fine and the leaves look OK. I haven't earthed up as some people say its not necessary.
These plants are only abouyt 8" tall now, and two of them are flowering...?
I didn't water during the last couple of weeks when its been dry as people say its not necessary unless it gets mega dry.
Planted a couple of rows (Maris Peer & Anya) behind them a few days later, they weren't chitted and they are about 12" tall and not yet flowering.
Maincrop (Maris Piper, Rooster & Apache) planted a week after that and are also 12" and not flowering.
So Have I done something wrong?
