    If they are going to be de-flowered, surely it would be better to nip them as soon as you see them form. I've tried a side by side for my own curiosity on a cpl. Chopped flowers off 1 but left the other and chopped off any new buds off 1 newly flowering plant and left the other. Cheers Ivan! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤

    I noticed little buds on my potatoes yesterday! Thank you so much for the advice because as you know I am clueless and learning as I go along 😅 xx

    Hi Ivan, thank you so much for answering my question (again!), in more detail. First time growing potatoes and got tiny flowers starting to pop up on my second early maris peer potatoes. Looking good so far, just need to trim off the flowers as soon as they bud. Fingers crossed for a nice big harvest 🤞🏽

    Oh wow…I have never heard this about potato flowers before. Thanks so much!!!

    If you remove the flowers, does the plant think its still growing rather than coming to the end? Xx

    Great tip . I grow potatoes 🥔 in containers and in the ground and have never cut the flowers 💐 off. But wil do so from now on. Many thanks Tim 😊

    Hi Ivan.. Sorry if this question sounds a bit thick, but this yr is first time ever I've grown anything.. How do you know/whats the difference between a 1st Earliy's 2nd Early's. Is it the difference between your 1st & 2nd planting. Thankyou

    Hi Ivan
    If I grow the little berries on the top , mashed/fermented the berries , do the seeds need drying out first? Also when can they be planted? Think I’ll try this with one pink fur apple potato plant..

    Also Epsom salts, only ones I could find are bathing ones so put a pinch in water to water the broad beans, would this do any damage? Only today I found the Westlands salts- would they work the same?

    Hi Ivan.. Just noticed this morning one of my potatoe tubs has a bit of leaf blight (looks like dots) I'm going to harvest the pot but if the potatoes look & feel OK will they be OK to eat… Thankyou

    I think it would be an fun project to grow potatoes from seeds.
    You might get some interesting hybridisation.
