    Just take what you want from the tub and leave the rest to grow on. They will keep producing as long as the greenery holds on and you keep watering them.

    You don`t want flowers on your potatoes, you want the plants to put all their energy into producing potatoes. If you see flowers forming, take them off.:thumb:
