    Hi all, I am growing two tubs of potatoes there is plenty of top growth on both, but have not looked underneath the soil yet. I don't know the names of the potatoes as I planted 4 supermarket ones near the bottom of each tub when they started to sprout in the vegetable rack about 2 months ago! I'm hoping for something - as I have earthed them up to the top of the tubs about 2 weeks ago.

     I think I've found the answer Debbielon, you first posted about this on 24th June and they had been planted about 8 weeks previously.  Charlottes are usually ready for harvesting around 13 weeks from planting so the earliest they are likely to be ready for harvesting would be around 29th July.  Now that the plants are flowering, give them plenty of water and you should have some in another couple of weeksSmile
