I have potato vines growing in my yard. The potatos range from tiny to pretty big (tennis ball size). The vine needs alot of space to climb. It will wrap back on itself if there's no where up to go.

If this photo shows up, this is looking straight up at a potato. I've had mine for several years and never seen any blooms.
