    hello peeps.
    I planted some potatoes about the 25th april, but they have shot up. the plants are about 3ft, and showing the flower buds.
    Is this normal. as when i planted them before they where never that big.
    thanks

    That sounds normal to me, they can get very tall if they are well fed and watered :thumb:
