All my potatoes seem to be doing quite well with lots and lots of leaves, but asset I haven't had a single flower on them. The taties are being grown in bags, and have really developed very quickly, but it's the flowers - or 'lack of' - that are worrying me now, and I don't know what to do to encourage them. Could anyone offer any advice on this, please?

Some don't flower. What spuds are you growing? -

Is it a bit early for flowers? Mine are flourishing but no flowers yet.The best things in life are not things.Comment

Isn't that weird, I've always waited for them to start flowering before having a furtle. You learn something new every day.I'm only here cos I got on the wrong bus.Comment

I had flowers on a tattie in a pot, had a furtle and found a couple of small spuds, so, getting excited, tipped the lot out. There were only a few more and none of them of a decent size

One or two of mine have started to flower, but haven't been in long enough yet, the first lot weren't planted until the beginning of april (under cover), so I'm not planning on furtling for at least another 4 weeks.I'm only here cos I got on the wrong bus.Comment

Non-flowering potatoes...
Thank you for your reply. I have some Charlottes and, I think, Maris 'somethings' - I'm a tad unsure on the second lot because we (my girlfriend and I) got them from my girlfriend's Mum and Dad...Originally posted by chris View PostComment
