Do I harvest my Potatoes soon?
Our potatoes have been growing in a potato sack since mid-April. The plants themselves are getting really big (we've even had to tie some to a stake to hold the plants up). When do you reckon would be a good time to start harvesting? Not sure what by Huntertony

Will red ant colony damage my potato crop?
I was over at the allotment today, and whilst covering the first leaves of the potato crop (Maris Bard) I came across a large red ant colony. It's our first year on the allotment and we're trying to learn fast! Will these ants damage the crop? If so by Pepe2509

Potato Buckets
Hi All I just gone to dig up some of my potatoes out of my big potato buckets and as you get down to the bottom of the bucket, where we have had so much rain, the compost smells stagnant.  Is this normal and will the potatoes still be ok to munch by Catseyes411
