I've been posting on a weekly basis in the starting from seed forum updating my garden's progress, so haven't posted much here. So far things appear to be ok with the plants, however I am wondering how long flowers normally stay open on potato plants. Mine bloomed well for about a week. I'm a little worried because it was hot this week and when I visited the garden most of the flowers were dead, and the leaves looked a little wilted and curled. They were watered a couple of times during the work week, but I do think it was just a problem with them not dealing with the heat well. From what I can tell there isn't a major problem.
Well, I'm calculating 5 weeks or maybe a little longer until harvest. Trying to not get my hopes up too much as far as yield goes. Wont be long before I find out!
