 Hi guys my potato was growing fine, but it kept getting bigger and not producing flowers and now the leaves are turning brown and it seems to be dying. I know there are lots of potato diseases does anyone have any experience of this happening?

    Not all potato varieties produce flowers.  Have you not dug up a plant to see?  At the very least dig gently round the plant to see what's there.

    From what I can see the soil beneath them looks very dry. Maybe they just need a good drink!image
