theherd123 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 WOW love the spuds! All my potatoes have loads of leaves but have not yet flowered. Do you have to wait until they have flowered before you harvest them? They were 1st and 2nd earlies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 You could have a look at one plant of the first earlies - depends how small you like your new potatoes? Put the fork under them carefully and have a look - if they are far too small you should be able to pat it all back down and leave them to grow a bit more.

The Dogmother Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Mine are still flowering (desiree), but I am so tempted to reach into the sacks to see how they're cooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
