When to Harvest Potatoes.. for New Growers


I should have watched the video first

I really wasn't sure when to harvest my potatoes, so after weeks and weeks I decided I'd do it today



I was pleased to see I actually had potatoes!, but I was a little dismayed that many seemed waterlogged.
We've had a lot of rain so I thought perhaps I'd waited too long





Not many, I left a few behind




a little wash?




Yay .. potatoes!



then I watched the video and it's clear the best time to harvest is when they flower!

There you go
Now I know

If you're a first-timer like me, don't despair.. just know to wait until your plants flower.. and add extra soil also as that will help
