Default Blight on Toms. and Spuds.

Hello maybe something of interest to you

My whole potato and tomato crops decimated by blight.

However some volunteer Sarpo Mia from last years crop have not been
touched at all.

Shame that the eating qualities of these is poor.

Sarpo Mira? I like them. All our plots have blight by now but mostly haven't
affected the tubers because we chopped off the haulms pretty sharpish. Well
we hope so anyway! Tomatoes in the greenhouse have a touch of blight but it
doesn't seem to do much harm in there, the tomatoes keep coming .... and
coming
