  • Christmas Potatoes

    Hi I'm growing my Christmas spuds in containers and one container in particular has gone mad. Its even starting to get flower buds showing. What should I do?
    Should I cut them off?

    how long ago did you plant them? I have quite a bit of growth but no signs of flowers

    Although I'm guessing as it gets colder (which it now is) the growth will slow anyway.

    And don't forget to ensure the haulms don't get caught by frost - ignore me if you already know that

        Tattieman (our resident spud expert) suggested (earlier on in the year) removing the flowers to help the plant concentrate its energy on the tubers.
        Imagination is everything, it is a preview of what is to become.

            Thanks Guys. I've got my fleece all ready and as soon as the toms stop taking over the greenhouse they will be in there.

            I only planted them last month and they've gone mad. Will cut of the flowers and see if that helps.

            cheers
