Potatoes are the most popular vegetable in the garden, the queen of summer cottages. It is difficult to find a summer resident who would not plant this crop in his garden.

During cultivation, some novice gardeners may have questions. For example, many are interested in the topic of cutting the top.
There are gardeners who are accustomed to cutting the green mass immediately after flowering.
It is believed that it interferes with the harvest, and is also no longer needed, as the crop will soon need to be harvested.
But this is not entirely the right decision.
The fact is that you can't cut the tops immediately after flowering. It's better to do this a little later.
In this, you should focus on some signs:
- the tops stopped growing;
- the leaves are wilting;
- The stems turn yellow and bend to the ground.
However, experienced gardeners advise removing the tops after they dry out. After a few weeks, you can harvest from the beds.
This trick will have a positive effect on the condition of the tubers.
