potato blight
Hello,
I'm in the Midlands. Has anyone suffered from blight (tomato or potato) this year? A friend said he lost his tomatoes. he went away for a weekend and when he came back they had gone. Could that have been blight? I had problems with slugs last year so this year I planted kestrel and Romano potatoes. One week they were growing nicely; the next week there was nothing there! It was as if they had been stolen! I have dug the ground and there are some tubers. Most are fine but there have been a few that were mushy. I don't know much about blight. Does this sound like it may have been the cause? I've read a little via google and I understand it is carried in the wind. Would polytunnels reduce the risk of blight? I have also read that some people spray every couple of weeks. Do many people here do that? Finally, what varieties can you recommend that are blight and slug resistant? TIA |
