Potato Blight
It's here and got most of my potatoes. Both our earlies Amandine and
Leontine, our second earlies Kestral and maincrop Celine are affected and I will have to cut all the tops off tomorrow and dispose of them. The other maincrop Victoria seems to be OK at the moment, it does have some resistance although I'm not sure about the "new" strain of blight. Our Tomatoes are also unaffected so they will get some more Bordeaux Mixture ASAP, trouble is it washes off. Such a shame because we were getting a huge crop from our earlies, up to just over 5lbs per plant now. Kestrals have also produced a good crop but it will be much too early for the maincrops to have done much. Never have I known Potato Blight so bad and so early, but then I've never known the ground in this area at this time of year so wet. -- Regards Bob Hobden Posting to this Newsgroup from the W.of London.
