[Gardening] Flowering potato plants

Howdy, So some of my taters are beginning to bloom and I am wondering if the buds should be removed or left to flower? The online threads I've read are divided: experienced gardeners have never-ever cut the flowers with others citing studies pointing to yield increases with removal. Any experiences with either method is much appreciated! Thanks, Vanessa Rumson Rd. If it is a rose, it will come into bloom sooner or later. ~Goethe Sent from my iPhone
