I wonder how other KFGers are faring with their "earlies". I've had a super crop of Arran Pilots. I had 12 plants which I've just harvested and got 6-8lb per plant, many of them "baking size" and no slug damage. Hope you've all done well!

When did you plant them John, I don't get that sort of yield per plant from earlies although Arran Pilot is reckoned to grow quick I believe.

The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.

Planted them Mid-March and, sorry, they are Kestrel, not APs.
