This is my first year of growing potatoes myself .
1st early - Maris Board and Duke of York
2nd early - Charlotte
Main Crop - Maris Piper and Pentland Dell
I planted these in large containers every 2 weeks from 17th March. They were doing very well until the rain and wind on Monday. Now all of the leaves apart from the Pentland Dell have flopped over with some stems snapped. I wasn't expecting to harvest until July-October. Will the potatoes continue to grow or am I meant to harvest. The leaves are still dark green apart from the Maris Board which has turned pale.
