potato support!
« on: June 22, 2007, 14:46:10 »
Hi
with the recent heavy rain and storms, part of my main crop potato's have 'fallen' looks like someone has had a lie down in them  :( should I attempt to support them with string and canes, or leave them alone? they are tall (Kerr Pinks)

I'd leave them alone, they'll either pick up or be ready to crop soon so I wouldn't bother and it would take you quite a bit of time to stake them all.  ;D ;D ;D
MAY THE CORN BE WITH YOU.

Leve them alone, they'll perk up once (if) the rain stops  :) :) :)
