Growing Celeriac

I thought I planted celeriac at the right time - May, but now Sept & no bulbs. It's been nice & damp, good drainage with compost pre-dug in, planted in full sun, but cool thru winter. They look like they've had to much nitrogen though I haven't used it. If I added potassium now, how long could I/should I leave them?

If the plants have survived, then leave them as is - they should hopefully start to swell up into bulbs and give you harvestable produce by december/january
