|
|
Came back from a weekend away and have noticed some patches on my potatoes.
Some plants had died off over the past couple of weeks but I didn't really take much notice as there was plenty of health ones left, but now most of these have some patches on them.
I'm assuming blight in its early stages? Can anyone confirm / deny from the attached photos?

Well it seems it was blight. It got a lot worse a couple of days later, so we dug up the potatoes underneath and they actually, more or less seemed fine, especially the Epicure 1st early ones.
So we had a version of Poor Man's Potatoes last night, which went down a treat

Try growing sarpo mira or sarpo axona. Been growing them for years now with no blight
