now what?

[veggielover]

I've earthed up my spuds to the top of containers........ do i just leave alone now?

[shirlthegirl43]

Yup, wait till they flower (some don't) and the foliage yellows and dies back.

[veggielover]

thanks for quick response...... its my first time with spuds and its surprised me the speed at which they grow!!!!

Yes Veggielover ....thats all you need to do now just sit back and wait
You will find they shoot up like mad,with mine as quick as i was earthing up the bag a couple of days later they were popping their heads through again
I have now earthed up to the top of the bag and the plants are about two foot above that and are just about to start to bud so fingers crossed very soon we will be eating our own spuds
