potatos not flowering
« on: July 02, 2008, 10:02 »
Cab anyone advise please?
My first earlies (jersey royal) are showing no signs of flowering year while my second earlies (kestrel) and maincrop (deseree) both are.
Should i just lift now, as I want the space for my leeks - or am I being too impatient.
There are some spuds there now, but will I get many more If I let them flower?
Thanks

Some plants may not flower, so you could be waiting a while.

The spuds will get larger, but you'll miss the tatsy smaller ones. As they say, you pays your money, you takes your choice! There should be a decent crop there by now.

Jersey Royals BTW are only grown in Jersey. I assume it's International Kidney you have :!:  :wink:
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
