potato question

having put in lots of earlies in march, they are now well above ground, in fact am beginning to wonder if there is anything under the ground!!! None are in flower nor are there any signs of flowers, the second earlies are beginning to flower they were only put in during April, even in this hot weather I have wtered all the garden twice a day, as we have very fine soil, as no-one has gardened here until we came for many years and we have had to cur down various small trees and rubbish to clear ground,, it has been well rotovated and manured all the other veg are thriving, beans and broad beans flowers on runner and dwarf, etc. carrotts beetroot and turnip growing well, I dug one potato up and there were small pottoes on it, in fact we ate them for lunch but am wondering if I should just ignore the flowering bit and dig em up.

If you are happy with the size of them Jenny, then go for it. I wouldn`t dig them all up, just enough for a meal as needed.

 

thanks for reply that was my feeling but wondered if I should wait till they are a bit bigger but they could rot in the current weather
