Yellow and brown leaves on potatoes

Posted Aug 10 2009 2:38pm

Yellow and brown leaves mean the potato plants are maturing.

The potatoes are only ready for storage when the skins are set, that is when you cannot rub the skin off with your finger nail. The tops need to be completely dead or chopped off for at least 2-3 weeks before the potatoes will be fit for storage (with the skins set).

The potatoes can be harvested at any time for immediate use.
