Cutting the green tops off potatoes has to be done if the leaves are still green at the start of October.
Potatoes will not store well if the potato leaves are still green and the potatoes are still
growing.

Once the tops have been cut off, the potato skins will start to mature. This will take at least two weeks. The skin is mature when it cannot be scuffed off with the thumbnail. The potatoes will store right through the winter if the skins are mature.
It is important to cut the tops off the potatoes so that sufficient time is left for the skins to mature before the first frosts.
