Any reports of potato blight from around the country.
Portsmouth Allotments. We have blight, the weather has been so awful with rain, humidity and the wind to spread the fungal spores.
Even my blight resistant Sarpo has a touch of blight with my first earlys the worst affected.
Here in W Wales , had to cut the tops off all my crop, tubers seem OK and very tasty hope they stay that way. I have gleaned all the plot surface for any leftover plant foliage and hope for more luck next year.
It has been very wet and warm here this year.
