potatoes have gone mad

I planted some spuds under a small glass self made cold frame/ store.

Any way there growing well but the leaves are now hitting the glass and im not sure what to do about it.

Can i cut the leaves or will this affect the growing potatoes.

or should i dig it up and transplant to another position.

 

Hi esdel,

Spuds don't transplant very well, I take it you can't take the glass out then ?

 

Cutting the leaves will not decrease yield. but keep some so the plants can photosynthesise Ideally these should have been planted in open ground.

 

best to just remove the lid. and let them grow. are you earthing them up.

 

i could remove the glass, probably going to have to, i dont want it to affect the look, yeild.

And yes i know i should of planted them in the open but it was a test.

All the others are in there own plot,

Can i ask how many spuds roughly could i get from one potatoe

 

Depends on the variety and many other factors.

 

Up to 1000 kilos

 

not flowered yet, just lots of lush green leaves ( if thats the correct term )
