My tater patch is bearing little purple blooms now. No sign of the blight, but I do have plants so heavy they sometimes tip over and then bend back upward through phototropism, forming an odd l-shaped plant.
I hope that means I’ll be getting taters.

Actually, they start out l-shaped, but end up L-shaped.

This is the 1st year I have tried potatoes. Mine are blooming and tall. I did mound the dirt twice.
Do you know a good way to dig them out after the leaves turn brown?
That is, if there are any under there.
