Hi Cloud
Tatties are similar to strawberries - it's not so much when they flower as how quickly they mature after flowering.
I have Lady Christl in as my first early, with Charlotte as my second early - both planted on exactly the same day - within an hour of each other - but the Charlotte is ahead of the Lady Christl in terms of growth.
The moral is don't worry - be happy - and enjoy your spuds !!
