Potatoes dying off - normal?
Did you hill the potatoes. Alot of times when you have alot of vines,
you will have a smaller yeild. Try digging into the side of the hill and see if they are of a good size. You may want to use them as "new" potatoes in a pot of green beans.

The plants grew like crazy, hit about 3 feet tall. Now, they are starting to die for no reason that I can see. Is this normal? I thought they would grow until frost killed them. There are no diseases I'm aware, no obvious insect damage. Plus I can actually see the tops of several potatoes on the surface, is that also normal? Never grown potatoes before, did not know what to expect. |
