Hi I am growing 12 bags of potatoes of which all the greenery has now died down.
I want to leave them in the bags for now but my question is will they still keep growing and do I still water every second day like I have been doing.
Thanks for all the advice on here by the way I would have been lost this year without all you lovely peeps.

    I tend to take the view that once the foliage has died down there is nothing to continue growing the tuber and that you can stop watering if you wish.

    Thanks that's what I thought and I thought they might rot but was a bit afraid not to in case all my hard work and tlc would be wasted if they died from lack of water lol.
