    Potato Query

    Hi All

    Just another daft question from myself, am sorry if it is annoying to some people but I haven't a clue

    I have 3 rows of potatoes, one row the leaves have a flower on them - is it true than when these flowers die that the potatoes are ready to eat?

    Then my other 2 rows - same type of potatoes - half the bed on each row are lovely green leaves, the other half looks like they've all dies, leaves brown and wiltered. My question is these brown and wilted leaves are they dead?

    Thanks
    Dropps

    when the leaves die back, the spuds are ready to dig up

      Oooooooh lovely do they have to be dug up quickly? Or can it be over days/weeks etc? And last question do I dig them all up when I start on one plant?

            Dig them up, inspect them use any that wont store, store the rest in a hessian type sack in a cool place.

              I've written down somewhere what the potatoes were but I can't find it now lol. I think they were charlotte potatoes and they were very very nice and I was well proud of myself
