Yes, they are. I live in an area with good drainage, sandy soil, but almost NO organic material. I can't afford a truckload of compost, nor can my wife and I produce enough of our own compost from our kitchen and lawn clippings. So, I simply added some decomposed horse manure (free from almost any nearby rancher) and planted my seed potatoes. I fortified the potatoes every 2-3 weeks with Miracle-Gro spray fertilizer (the kind you screw onto the end of your hose) and they grew very well. When I harvested them, I had some misgivings about the amount of minerals they may have absorbed. Not wanting to waste these delightful tubers, I just ate them. I suffered no ill effects and ultimately did some of my own research. What the Miracle-Gro fertilizer contains is just a liquid form of what I would have been adding anyway. I am NOT a Miracle-Gro employee, by the way. I simply farm on a shoestring budget. This stuff works great on the rest of my garden too. No ill effects and its been that way for the past 5 years. I wish I had done my research from the start. The stuff is fine.

It's one of the signs the gardener looks for in order to determine when the potato harvest can begin; most home gardeners who grow potatoes look for those first tiny, delicious potatoes to be ready!There are many web sources about gardening that provide information regarding the process of growing potatoes. I've noted one in this thread. The potato flower is mentioned near the end of the article. Not only does it provide a sign that potatoes are growing under the plant; the flower also produces seeds. Remember your elementary school science - seeds are one of the ways a plant reproduces!Yes. They produce flowers, which can be a variety of colors, such as white, purple, and blue. If fertilized, they will produce small tomato-like fruits. These fruits are toxic, though, and should not be eaten.
