Default T&M Spuds

This year have tried some Sarpo Mira not sure if spelled correctly.

Plants are flowering but the foliage is not heavy , I believe it should be.

Question when should I be able to harvest.

Mine are looking like plants from the Amazon jungle with their massive
strong growth as are the rest in the blight resistant collection, however,
it does not always follow that the size of the tops reflects the crop
underneath so don't be downhearted with yours. Potato tubers are normally
getting bigger when they flower so I would at least wait for the flowers to
wilt. Mira are maincrop so I would expect approximately 4 months from
planting to being ready to dig
