heres my spuds what you think?

Hi all new to this but heres my spuds after 4 to 5 weeks
Started off with roosters
Got the bug. and ended up buying king edwards,carlingfords and a mixed bag from dobbies
Seem to be shooting up lovely
Nice and green and plenty of rain for them
Been earthing them up as they grow bigger
What you think?
Dave

Looking good Dave, I've got King Eddies coming up nicely, my roosters haven't shown their heads yet. Keep up the good work

Put my Pentland Javelins in about 6 weeks ago now - still no sign of any growth. First time i've grown these as earlies. I understand that this variety takes longer for the tubers to swell up than others. Does anyone know if this applies to the first signs of growth too? - They're on my allotment and have had plenty of recent rain

I would think they will poke through any time now, my 1st, 2nd, earlies have been in 5 weeks and are showing now, but they are in warmer soil than yours. Potatoes are fairly indestructible. Patience......

Looking good. Mine are much further on but I started them off in the shed and they've been out in the sunshine and warmth for weeks so I'm lucky. Yours look absolutely spot on. Well done.
