Home grown potatoes tasteless

[morverngirl]

My Lady Christyls are fantastic, bigger than I expected, but most of all it has to be Golden Wonder. I'm a Highlander living in Midlands and growing them for 1st time, so far haulms are reaching my waist ,hope it is not all top growth

Could I ask for a bit of advice as a first timer please.

Have grown Charlottes and Wilja's in bags and have harvested some of each so far. They are now dying back so would I be best off harvesting them all and storing them or just harvest them as we want them?

My concern is that they will get too big, help please

What's wrong with big potatoes?

[BigPhil]

Nothing I guess, but that wasn't really the issue, more a case of should I harvest them all at once or as we want them?

If you cut the shaws (haulms if you are English) off and your bags are filled with compost as opposed to straight from the ground soil, you can just leave them in the bags in a dry shed or garage etc in the bags and take them out when you need them.

I would harvest them all if I wanted to use the bag or ground for something else. You can store them in brown paper bags somewhere cool and dry.

They won't get any bigger once the tops have died down.
