Message: I live in Brisbane Australia
I planted some King Edward potatoes about 6 weeks ago but the Plants have grown about at least 1M tall in about 4 weeks.
I have never come accross such fast growth or such tall plants in all the years I have grown KE potatoes
As the plants are so tall they are all falling over as the stems cannot hold the weight of the follage.
Should I cut the stems back all should I just let the stems fall over and lie on the ground.
I would appreciate advise on this.
Kind regards
Ross McKay
