My potato plants are popping up.

3 of them are now showing their heads another 7 to pop up

They will be my crop of new potatoes.

They have a habit of growing anywhere if you chuck them out.

I was late putting mine in and they've only been in a couple of weeks. I'm confident they will still grow, i'm just not expecting a massive crop from them!

They should be ok, mine went in on Good Friday and are only just popping up, so yours should be along soon.

Are they in the ground or in containers/bags?
Ours are in bags and are doing quite well.

We have spuds planted in big containers and made our own compost, not yet showing through just yet though, will be putting our runner beans and tomatoe plants in soon.
