Harvesting potatoes
HL B123 said:
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
Best for what?
You can start sneaking some new potatoes any time the spuds are big
enough to suit you. Otherwise, wait until the vines die back.
If mice aren't a problem, you can store them in the ground until you are
ready to cellar them. If mice are a problem, you'd better hurry and
get them while you can.
