The leaves will keep growing up. If you are growing early potatoes you need to look at lifting then soon. As they are in a container you can just wiggle (very scientific expression) your fingers down into the pot/bag and see if you can feel any tattties then just remove enough to eat. We grow our tattties in the ground so just lift a root at a time :-)
