How long will Spuds keep in the ground

rich24uk · « **on:** September 05, 2008, 11:39 »

Many of my plants have now started to die off (some are completely dead). Should I pick them and store them away now or are they ok to remain in the ground so long as there is no frost?

They are King Edwards btw.

I personally would harvest them, cause it`s bout this time you harvest spuds, but if you harvest them all but one, then that one would/should grow again next year.

I'd get them out now... loads of slugs in this wet weather!!
