Most of my potatoes are starting to flower now. Many second earlies are flowering before first earlies and some do not flower at all. I have noticed the ones growing in bags are starting to look thirsty so I am starting to water them at night and they are getting a good soaking. I also have some nutrimax that I am spraying onto the foliage at night once the heat has gone a bit just so that the plant does not get stressed.
Now I now many other people will be wanting to have a furtle to see if there are any potatoes but just hold back for another few weeks and your reward will be even greater.
Remove any flowers from the haulms so that your plant puts its energy into the spuds.
Give them plenty of water now.
If your potatoes are a long way off you should start to think about spraying against blight. Dithane 945 is all you can really use to prevent the disease.
I have just got a new video camera for my birthday today so you can expect more videos coming soon to update you all on my progress.
