Flowers on potato "Pixie"

Am going to be removing the flowers as soon as I see them, so that the plants' energy is concentrated on producing potatoes.

I didn't know you had to do that, David! Still waiting for mine to produce some flowers. Does it matter if they don't flower?

I've never done this before, Gee, but remembered a blog post by Stroll on 26th February about this. I've never not had flowers on my potato plants, but wouldn't think that it matters too much. The flowers are only for natural reproductive purposes of the plants, I would think?
