potatoes
« on: June 02, 2011, 21:00 »
my early potatoes are now ready they are about the size of an egg my question is how long can they be left in the ground and can we just dig them up when we need them.

They can be left in the ground for weeks - they'll just keep getting bigger.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
