Topic: Potato flowers dropping off

[Gillian]

Hi all,

I have some lovely potato plants - nice and bushy and green. They have started to flower but today I noticed that instead of opening, the flowers are turning yellow and falling off.

None of my other potato plants from previous years have done this. Is there anything wrong with this season's plants, should I try to do anything?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

I think that's a sign they are ready- my Dr Hessayon book says "when they flower or the buds drop". Have you had a furtle (see other thread!)
