I planted some pink fir apple spuds in bags in mid march and the foliage is like a triffid and they are flwering. Ive noticed this morning that the foliage is starting to topple over and i imagine they will start to die off now so how long before they will be ready and should i try to support the stems if they are going to be a while yet? Ive had a little furtle and only pulled out a couple of egg size ones.

thanks

PFA are main crop spuds.

They'll be ready when the foliage dies down.

Are you sure they are fir apple ? I have never seen an egg sized one unless it is a piece broken off , thumb size or hand size yes. If it is egg shaped you could have your rows mixed up.
As said above it`s a bit early for PFA.

maybe not egg "shaped" but about the length of an egg or thumb but a lot smaller than they should be anyway. I will leave them to die down and give them plenty water and some feed.

cheers

I have a couple of PFA volunteer plants in the french beans so i may get a feed off them.

Lovely taters, i wish i had planted some this year.

My Pfa are fantastic this yr    the tops havent started to die yet but ive pulled a few and the crop is already lots/huge and very tasty. I find them good things to give away as not many ppl heard of them and the feedback from the eating is amazing 

Im growing so many more next yr!
