Title: Potato plants droopy
Post by: Mortality on June 12, 2010, 08:10:12
My Pentland Javelin potato plants have gone all droopy and there was a flower on one of the plants a few weeks ago, leaves are still healthy, stems yellowy and they did get badly munched on by snails at one point.
Are they ready to be harvested or do I wait...?

Could well be their time is up, ready for digging up, How long have they been planted? 12 or more weeks ago? Have a furtle you, can't loose a lot even digging one up..... ;)

12 weeks is about right for a Javelin.... My Rockets lasted no longer and have provided me with several good portions of potato salad form a not enormous pot....
