North Florida Potatoes in decline

Stvrob · April 24, 2015

I have a question, my Yukon gold potato vines are in obvious decline. They were planted in early February, grew extremely vigourously thru March. None of them have flowered yet. And the vines are yellowing and beginning to die. Is it time to pull them? I was hoping they could grow to maturity so I wouldnt be overwhelmed by new potatoes. We have had lots of days in thenhigh 80's, and there is a very thick layer of leaf mulch, I was thinking they would have hung in there longer.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
