it all depends if you want to store them or eat them now i have been digging king Edwards for about 5 weeks now there is plenty to roast or boil for new taters size and for the last 2 weeks some for jacket spuds so the only thing you can do is dig a root and find out and enjoy them jacob

Maincrop.

When the haulms die off in the autumn is when they have finished growing.

But that is if the blight does not get them.

when a tuber has formed and is above the size of golfball they are usable.

You pays your money you takes your choice of yield.

My King Edwards seem to be in the grip of blight, so I took the advice of some kind grapes and lopped the stems off - down to the ground (?), and thought I'd dig one up to see how they're fairing. Some are a decent size, some are more like new spuds, but they all seem ok, and most wouldn't look out of place on a dinner plate.

Hope this helps?

King edwards are main crop potatoes and take a recommended 14 weeks+ to mature so I would not even look until 14weeks has passed, I got this info from a leaflet with my original seed potatoes, Also if you want them to store it says to leave in the ground after the halums have died off for 2-3 weeks, though I always lose a lot when doing this. hope this helps.
