Default Harvesting potatoes

Where in Arkansas ? I'm in Stone County , north central area . I suspect my
soil is a couple of years away from taters , if you look at it wrong when
damp it packs hard as concrete . Needs more organic stuff , it's mostly
silty clay and ... wait for it ... rocks .

There's a reason they
call it Stone County .

Good morning to the Group from Arkansas USA .
My question to the group is when is the best time to dig potatoes ,when
they first bloom or when the plants die? Also does removing the blooms
increase the yield? thanks for all responses hlb
