Such a shame because we were getting a huge crop from our earlies, up to

will be much too early for the maincrops to have done much.

Have you pulled up your kestrels already? I am still pulling up the
firsts.

We dug a root up this morning, firstly to see if they were big enough and
secondly Sue needed some larger potatoes today. We are still not even half
way through our earlies which is not surprising considering the crop we have
been getting off each plant.
Went back this afternoon and removed all the tops of everything except the
Victoria which does not seem affected, and sprayed the Tomatoes with
Bordeaux Mixture.
