Title: Harvesting potoatoes
Post by: Mark /\ on July 17, 2005, 16:22:41
Been eating my first ever home grown potatoes for the last few weeks. The plants have been flowering for a while now I want to know if i just feel around and pull the spuds off will the plants  continue to grow more spuds all season or is it best to oull the plants after a good crop cheers.

The remaining tubers will continue to grow in size. Take them - however you will - as you need them.

If they are main crop, which doesn't seem likely, only lift them all for storage when the haulms have died down.
