do all spuds flower?

[debster]

might be a silly question but i dug up some stray ones from last year and from two plants got over 5lb of spuds and they are delicious but the plants never flowered

[debster]

[Flighty]

Apparently not. My Swift earlies didn't that I started harvesting today.

[debster]

well flighty that is partly why i asked the question the first earlies i put in (cant remember the type) look to be dying back as if they are ready but have not even had the first sign of a flower, how did you know yours were ready?

[Flighty]

Debs I kept a note of when I put them in and waited ten weeks! I was also told that they don't flower and that when they started to die back they'd be ready. Sure enough that's what happened.

[debster]

ive just checked mine and they were planted eleven weeks ago and are starting to die back, time for a furtle me thinks  ;D

[Flighty]

Debs I reckon so, good luck!

[debster]

thanks  ;D just when i need the extra room too lol

[Digeroo]

I do just love this word furtle or firtle.  I have rooted around before.  But now I can furtle.  Wonderful.

[Flighty]

Digeroo there's firkle as well! All fun words!
