    Yep, def time to get moving. I just added the flag now Boater so people don't have to keep asking. My garden is easily a month later here than in Edinburgh, the height seems to make all the difference. Thanks everybody image

    Boater I'm in S.Yorks, We still at times get 4C overnight but currently no frostsimage

    Spuds went in planters on 18th March and moved in and out of GH if frost was due, they are romping away, almost to the top of sacks and when they reach the top obviously no more topping up image They are now deffo' staying outside enough compost in bags to cope with the cold, I just bunch them all together.

    1st earlies 10 - 12 weeks, 2nd 12-16 weeks, main crop 20 wks.

    Mardatha good advice from Boater get them in ASAP and earth up any green that shows.
