Noticed my main crop, Sante, had flowers on, took them all off today!
They especially are under stress as we have had no rain for three months, so hence the flowers!
Watched a programme some time ago about the Scottish seed potato growers and they mentioned flowers and stress, in that the plants started flowering so that they would set seed as a means of reproducing and that it hindered tubers swelling.
They had men walking the furrows rouging any plants looking different or with flowers on.
If it's good enough for the professionals it is good enough for me.
