more questions

Sorry to smother everyone with questions all at once but I'm a newbie at
any kind of gardening and living in West Texas we've been able to plant
for a couple of months now (we have a looonnng growing season).

First, we planted 3 squares of onion sets (1 of red onion, 2 of 10-15's)
on March 11th. About a week ago, 2 of the squares of sets had the green
tops just lay down on the ground like someone walked on them.  They are
still green so I don't know what the deal is.  Mel says to harvest when
the tops turn brown and fall over.  Does this mean something is wrong
with our onions or that they are just getting close to harvest time? Has
anyone else had this happen?  Please advise!

Second, we also planted two big planters of potatoes on March 11th.  They
are gorgeous plants and have had unopened blooms for a couple of weeks
now.  We can't find anything about when the potatoes are ready to
harvest.  Does anyone know how to tell either by looking at the plant or
by length of time since planting?  I'm just dying to see how they turn
out but don't want to harvest them too early.  Suggestions?

Thanks in advance for the helpful advice.  Once again, sorry to bombard
everyone all at once with all of the questions!
