First early potatos

Once your potato plants flower, is it better to dig all the first earlies up and store the potatos inside or can I leave the potatos and plants in the ground and dig them up as I need them? If I want the ground to grow something else in, is it OK by andyben

potatoes fresh from your own garden but this seems an expensive way of growing them... yes, expensive & when I tried this for xmas new pots it sadly failed...much better in the ground.. maybe between flowers etc as not essential to grow as a crop.. Hello by GillT

Can I reuse, or should I discard?

I always keep the stakes to reuse next year. But is this a good idea? Every year my tomatoes get Blight. And what about the containers I grow the tomatoes in? I always wash these out before storing. Thanks for advice. Maggie I believe by staffsmags

Talkback: Potato blight

and delicious. I'm reluctant to grow maincrop spuds, for fear of the dreaded plague. Still, you can't beat a good crop of new potatoes! Our biggest problems were with Colarado Beetle, it meant going out each morning and picking the adult beetle's off by happymarion
