Potatoes
« on: July 09, 2011, 12:14 »
Could someone be good enough to advise me whether all potato types 'flower' during their growing period?
If so, what causes some potatoes not to 'flower' as is the case with some of mine.
Thanks

I couldn't, but it's nothing to be concerned about.  If you want to worry about something, worry about what's happening BELOW ground level   ::) !   Cheers,    Tony.
I may be growing OLD, but I refuse to grow UP !

No they don't all flower

Have a look at varieties on the database, some do some don't or rarely flower
