Wait until the leaves die, that means they’ve stopped growing. Patience my friend.

These probably needed a bigger pot. Try fertilizing them, they seem to be lacking some nutrients!

Not ready. Please put as much dirt over this as possible in an upwards cone towards the top and next time please use a bigger pot.

I’m with the people saying use a larger pot, but I’d also bury back any potatoes that start popping out of the ground. You have to remound them. You can get a cute little harvest in there though. I just had a baby harvest that I thought was fun in a small pot like that.

No. Cover the potatoes with dirt and wait for the leaves to die then wait a week or two and then harvest.
