[mum2two]

Mine haven't flowered either - plus all the leaves have been eaten by something, and on one, even one of the stalks has broken in half where they've been eaten through... :rolleyes:

Doesn't sound like any of us are going to be the winners... :p But we've had fun trying, and a free potato or 2...!!! :laughing:

Well we excitedly harvested our spuds today and well there is only enough for one meal..............:eek: thought I would get more. But will try another batch as kids loved doing it and finding worms and insects so we had a learning experience.

Good luck everyone else

My mind was elsewhere when posting my thread lol. Keep forgetting people have been doing this job and these activities etc for years. Still think I might have a nosy at mine thus weekend .

[murphy61]

mine havn't flowered either, planning on harvesting tuesday.

i harvested mine a couple of weeks ago! the tops had fallen over and were driving me mad as looked a mess. they hadnt flowered but were just getting buds.

so me and my mindee went on a treasure hunt (his words) and we got loads. a lot of them were tiny and prob could have done with being left a bit longer but a lot were big enough to cook and they were lovely!

[Roseolivia]

I haven't dug up mine yet, i left them in the greenhouse so i'm hoping to have big spuds.
