I have a bed of potatoes 20cm deep x40cm apart. have hilled them up as suggested some are beginning to flower . They were very healthy looking plants however they are now falling over and some appear to be withering. Is it too late to hill them further and would this help

I am having the same problem and think it may be due to the amount of rain we've had lately. I dug around one and the development of the tuber seems to be ok. Let me know how your crop progresses.
