Has anyone tried taking the flowers off the potato plants?
I heard or read that when the flowers develop the potatoes stop
swelling, and also that they need more water at that stage.
Any confirmation of that - or otherwise?

There are acres of potatoes growing in these parts, I have never seen
anybody removing the flowers. Tulips yes,ptatoes no.

I have been watering mine and removing flowers this morning.
Plants are very dry and leaves drooping.
