Hello Burnzie, yes I know about the theory of pinching off the flowers. No commercial grower does that. If the difference was significant I reckon they would be in there doing it. I am going for a bit of the appliance of science. I am growing my potatoes in bins. So far only 1 bin has flowered. I am leaving that one to see what the crop is. If the others flower I will leave half with the flowers and remove flowers from other half and note and post the results. Watch this space to see what happens.

When i came back from holidays my two buckets of potatoes had yellow leaves that had either died down or wilted.As they were first earlies (Sharps Express) i assumed they must be ready for eating and emptied the two buckets. While i got plenty of potatoes they were small and i can 0only assume that they did'nt get enough water. But they tasted delecious. I have two more half barrels full and am leaving them another month.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.
