"With earlies, wait until the flowers open or the buds drop; the tubers are ready to harvest when they are the size of hens' eggs." quote from royal horticultural society website..

My first earlies have flowered, I waited a bit longer until the flowers had finished as the first test potatoes i dug up where a bit small.

Looks like we are going to have a good yield, this year. There's still about 4 or 5 times more to come out of the ground :-)
