Hi all

Yesterday we had some strong winds which have flattened the stems of my potato plants (main crop growing in bags). It looks as though they've been damaged to the point where they won't straighten up again even if they were tied to stakes.

The plants have flowers on them of which some have opened and others are about to open. Would it affect the potatoes in any way if I cut the stems back or has the damage already been done?

Any help much appreciated.
