    I have planted seeds
    Now 15cm (6 inches) high,with plenty of green leaves
    Apart from keeping moist, do I have to do anyhting else?
    How do I know when they are ready to harvest ?

    Nothing else.
    You must wait until leaves are yellow.
    Hope you understand me, I never write in English.

    Wait until the leaves yellow and the fruits are ripe. Then dig them up carefully and let them dry before storing in the dark.

    I forget:
    potatoes don't have to see the light, if they go out of the ground cover them with soil. I think the term is “tucks in.”
