Hello,
I just had to lift all my spuds from their sack because the blight on the
foliage was completely out of hand. I only got a small quantity of spuds
(disappointment 1), but to top it off, some of the spuds have a hard dark
brown 'growth' on them, while the rest have a funny bumpy surface (picture
athttp://www.cryptpad.com/spuds.jpg). Does anyone know what this is, and if
it makes the potatoes inedible?

I haven't had the brown growth, but I frequently get the funny bumpy
surface. I have eaten them peeled with no ill effects, though I
wouldn't cook them as jackets.
