In the past, harvesting potatoes was a bit of a pain. They form underground, so they need to be dug up, sight unseen, which can disturb the plant. Although the timing roughly coincides with the dieback of the plant, you really have no way of knowing for sure how mature they are before you start digging.
Those fabric pots with the flap to harvest potatoes always remind me of those old-fashioned long johns ;-) Thanks for sharing your potato-growing tips!
