“How long can I go without harvesting the potatoes?”
Usually you harvest them when the foliage has completely died back. If your potted potatoes still have foliage, wait for the foliage to die. Stop watering if the foliage has already died back.
You could possibly go a month after that, leaving them in the pots, but don’t go too much longer because if it stays warm by you into the Fall, they may re-sprout and you don’t want that!
OK. Thanks.
They’ll need to come up by mid October anyways so I can get the garlic in. I just am not going to be home much for the next few weeks.
I’m praying for a late fall.
