The message
from "Donna UK" contains these words:

Hi All, I have some potatoes in the special potato buckets and have
gone out
this morning to find some of the helms broken off. Will the potatoes on
this plant still grow or will the produce be affected. There are two sets
of leaves at the base of the plants left on.

After the haulm has been removed the skins of the potatoes will harden,
which, if the tubers are left in the soil for a fortnight or three
weeks, helps them to keep.

If the others are still growing, the skins won't harden so rapidly -
until the haulm dies.
