Are our potatoes ready yet?

[Green gardener]

Can anyone please tell me, do you have to wait for all foliage to die before digging up your spuds, or do you just have to wait for the flowers to die, then they are ready?

These particular potatoes have red skins and seem to have been in the ground for a long time, but the foliage is still green, although the flowers have just died.

Thanks

have a tentative look - use your fork to lift slightly and see!
Hope they are done! If not, you can leave the rest a while longer.

What type are your growin GG? I normally wait 90 days for salads and 120 days for the rest. I kept a diary this year so I didn't have to guess Mine go in the ground quite late, so I am only eating salads at the moment.
