Too early for main crop to go in ?

my plot march 2013http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvzqRS0_hbQ
hindsight is a wonderful thing but foresight is a whole lot better -
I put mine in at the same time as my earlies, they just take longer to be ready. -
Main crop take longer than earlies - early means 'matures quicker' not 'put it in earlier' so no reason why not at all.

Mine went in a fortnight ago, 12" deep with a bulb planter. Guess it will be a while yet before they show themselves.Originally posted by greenishfing View Postsigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

Nearly all of my spuds are in the bedroom - where else? The ground here is so dry and crusted that I'm waiting for a drop of rain to soften it up.Comment

That depends entirely on your local weather conditions.Originally posted by Jason Cartwright View Post

Main crops take longer to harvest than earlies (as has been said). Therefore, if you get blight in your area, you need to work out your planting date: 20 weeks before the first autumn frost/blightOriginally posted by hawthorns View Post

20 weeks before the last frost? That's January 1st for me!Originally posted by Two_Sheds View PostMain crops take longer to harvest than earlies (as has been said). Therefore, if you get blight in your area, you need to work out your planting date: 20 weeks before your last frost

They go in sometime before the last frost but not so far before that you can't earth up the foliage; I usually go by mid March as in the first 6-8 weeks [up until my last frost date] - I can cover the foliage but after that it can romp away and hopefully I get a crop before blight hits.

Mine won't be going in for another week or so. Brummie frosts appear can arrive until late may.Comment
