    Not a good start to the season.

    Have missed ngetting my early and second early spuds in so having to plant them today aand I expect next week I shall be putting main crop in.

    I know they all develop at different rates but would really have liked to got my earlies in a couple of weeks ago.

    plus it is raining.

    BOO HISS.

    I haven't planted any of mine yet, and probably won't until at least next weekend or even the weekend after.

      Never mind - it's still only March, so you won't see that much of a difference in harvest times. And I don't know about Leeds, but we're forecast sunshine all day tomorrow!

        You're looking (well, virtually of course!) at someone else who has yet to plant a single spud! My earlies are chitting madly in the spare room, and my second earlies and main crops are....yet to arrive from T & M . But hey ho, I reckon they'll pretty much catch up with everyone elses, or so I keep telling myself.

        It's good to see I'm not the only one

          I was told by a local fella that

          "If you can see the sky through an ash tree there's still time to plant your spuds"

          Plenty of sky through the ash trees here - and I reckon the Irish know a trick or two about potato growing.
          (and I haven't done mine yet either so that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it !!)

            More than half my spuds are still in the shed.
            The soil hasn't been warm enough yet.
            They'll catch up with the rest of you though!

                    We got half of my maincrop's planted yesterday, but still haven't planted any of my earlies or second earlies They'll all be going in pots and I haven't got any compost yet!
                    The forecast is cracking for the rest of this week, and the soil temp said to be 10°c by Thursday, so next weekend should be perfect for planting

                      End of this week and next week for us...I don't bother with exact dates- anytime around Easter when the land has warmed and dried a bit!
