I an growing swift potatoes in one of those green plastic sack type things. I've earthed them up to the top and let them grow! There is a mass of green leaves sprouting out the bag now! I thought I had to wait for them to flower but the leaves seem to be going limp and drooping. Does this mean they are ready or does it mean they are dying? the variety of potatoe is swift if that helps?!

I have no flowers on one of my buckets, but it had gone a bit droopy and the others haven't. Just had a look, all ready - and have emptied it and got 675g of Lady Christl. VERY happy, this will be perfect for my potato salad on suday for guests
So if I were you, I'd have a wee looksie
edited to say just remembered mine have been in the greenhouse so might be ready a bit earlierLast edited by janeyo; 28-05-2010, 02:55 PM.

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesby raryI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
