too late to earth up?

[murphy99]

Hello all

I have just git back from holiday to find that my potatoes have shot up am I too late or wasting my time earthing them up. They are in sacks and I had started to earth them up before I went away and am only half way up the bag. Should I now add more compost or just leave them as the are and expect a lesser yield?

It seems while I was away everything decided to grow , my conservatory looked like a jungle when I got home with all the pepper plants

Thanks Helen

Ye, earth up to the top leaves or 2 inches from the top of the bag; whichever is the lowest.

Thanks , I will do - going way is a dangerous thing, although it was great to come home and find that everything survived!
