Potatoes are so easy to grow! Here’s how to know when they’re ready to harvest🥔#garden #potato

Potatoes are one of the easiest things to grow in the garden, but figuring out when they're finally ready to harvest, that's pretty confusing. So there's 3 signs to look for to find out when to harvest your potatoes. As your potatoes have been in the ground for about 2 months, they're going to start to have these yellow leaves down at their base. These wilting leaves are your first sign that your potatoes are getting close, and at this point you could dig down, reach around, and you could find a little tiny new potato. The next sign is when your potatoes start to flower. The flowers are going to look like little tomato flowers because they're in the same family. These haven't quite bloomed yet, but This is going to show you that those new potatoes, they are even better. They're bigger and they're ready to harvest. You wouldn't want to pull the whole plant at this point, but you can get a few little potatoes around the edges. The third sign hasn't happened in my garden yet. That would be when all of these leaves and stems have turned brown and flopped over. It's going to look like the plant is completely dead, but that means the potatoes underground are fully formed and they have thick enough skins that you can eat them right away, or you can store them for later. If you miss your potato planting window, don't worry, it happens to the best of us. You might need my garden planner, and I'll link it right below.
