Hi Mandy you plant 1st early potatoes in March they take around 10 weeks to be ready for lifting, 2nd earlies and main crop in April, the 2nd earlies take about twelve weeks and main crop 14 - 16 weeks. Lift 1st and 2nd earlies as you need them and your main crop potatoes in mid September.
The RHS has excellent advice on growing on their website -
