I seem to have something wrong with my potatoes. Based on what I have found online I think they are potato fleas, which are apparently harmless, however I would like to make sure. I would hate to have watered and weeded all summer just to find they are diseased when I pull them up.

Also, when can I harvest new potatoes? I also found online that the plant needs to flower, is this true and when should it happen? My plants are about two feet tall.

Thanks!
