Smae thing has happened to me in the past. I've started treating the sets
with powdered sulfur (is a fungicide) after they have dried some after
cutting them up. I always bed them up also. We've had close to 30 inches
of rain here in south AL in the last three months. Only lost my onions so
far..............good luck

East Tennessee. I've planted potatoes two times this year. Ordinarily,
they're my easiest crop. Stick 'em in the ground, mulch with leaves,
spray a few times for flea and potato beetles, and that's it. This year
we've had lots of rain. My taters never came up. I dig in my rows to
see what happened, and I find the rotten remnants. Most of the
chunks of seed potatoes never sprouted. Anybody else here in
the Southeast have similar results?
