Hi I live in Perth and have some potatoes growing ,they are looking very nice and I have built the soil up around them, at what point do you stop building up the soil around each plant ,and do you pinch the top out to stop them growing, We have grown a few potatoes before and we have never had flowers, what promotes flowers Look forward to hearing from you. Cheers Peter
