My potato plants blew over last night. they are about 3 feet high. should I try to stand them back up or leave them be? I live in maine so I believe my growing season goes till september/october. they have started to bud already. Thanks.

They'll be fine, Tom, just leaving them alone. You'll probably notice them sending up more new growth since they are blown over, and that's a good thing.

As for them "budding", no worries, potato plants will make potatoes whether they flower or not, so you'll be fine.

Wishing you a great harvest!
Yumm..."fresh dug french fries" are in your future!
