I'm glad I went with Sarpo Mira (blight resistant) for my maincrop considering the weather we are having this year.
The earlies will be eaten before blight can get a hold so I'm not too worried about spraying them. |

Sarpo Mira is more blight resistant than others. While we have had a blight warning already we had no blight and the season has a long way to go yet. The eating qualities of Sarpo Mira leave a lot to be desired and the people who promote them should tell the full story.
