I planted some rocket potato's on my veg plot they have grown well and now
have flowers on them, when is the best time to harvest them?. do I have to
wait for the leaves to die or can they be dug up now?

No, you don't have to wait for the leaves to die and if they have

they could well be ready.


We had a 'feed' of Home Guard last night - absolutely delicious and from
Growbags, too.
